If done proper you should not have to fight for a thing. I know it is hard to think about what the future might bring, but hopefully your parents have set up a will and all is legal. Actually they could put your name, your brother's name and such on any deeds now... don't feel you should not take what your parents would want you to have.
Sorry, I have been in this estate mess for almost 2 years and there was no need for it. And I have 2 sisters who are annoying, to say the least and will try and fight me for material items... blah.
it is a tough situation. i don't even want to think about it and hopefully i have a lot more time with my parents. they have alot of the insurance in order. my parents are good about things like that.
*sigh* that sister of your's...she's one nice piece of work, not. :( She sounds as though she is so self-absorbed that she can't even begin to think of any one else. I'm glad your Thanksgiving was a good one...or at least a better one :)
Hey you. Chin up--two weeks and then it's a lot of vacation time. That's a happy thought, isn't it? Be strong.
I think you should kick to the curb any so-called "friend" who forgets your birthday on regular basis. My rather strong opinion on the matter...
Legal advice: can you talk to your parents about visiting a lawyer to update their will, specifically mentioning that your sister will be a problem? There are legal ways to minimize her challenges, but your parents must see a lawyer. Their will can include a clause that anyone who challenges it is left the sum of $1. And like welsh_witch31 suggested, they can title assets with your name or leave it to you as a beneficiary, which pass outside of wills and are almost incontestable. I know that seems awfully yucky, but I think you owe it to yourself (and your parents owe it to you) to try to head this off at the pass. Your sister is a nightmare--why should they pass her off onto you

I know. It's a yucky thing to think about. I talk about it because when my father died, it was the most horrible thing in the world, and years later I could see that it all could have been avoided. Good planning can help prevent an already traumatizing event from turning into a devastating one. In fact, now I think of estate planning as a good and happy thing--you're sparing people so much pain by doing it.
I really do think you should talk to your parents about it, just to keep her from taking everything and causing you terrible pain.
