What is the name of your state? ID
My mother just passed away on friday. My sister hired a lawyer to make her personal representative. (mom had no will that we know of). my other sister agreed, so I was out voted.
Now my older sister has given away all of moms belongings to good will, even before the court has posted the official death notice or named her official personal represenative.
she has changed the locks to the house and refuses to give anybody else a key, and has moved moms car to her house.
she canceled the funeral services, and had mom creamated and the ashes dispersed of, before either my younger sister or I could get there from out of state. My younger sisters take on this is there is nothing we can do, the older sister has already done it and we can't get mom or her belongings back, so lets not start a family feud. I am furious, but financially I can not afford an attorney to fight this....is there anything i can do??? is it legal what my older sister has done??? please advise. I am more angry about the funeral services than anything. I promised my mom years ago that i would not let her be cremated. Both of my sisters also knew her feelings on this. My older sister also signed a DNR in the hospital, knowing this was against my mothers wishes.
My older sisters attorney says we would have to prove the value of the things she gave away, and stated, that we can't get my mom uncremated. He seems to think this is no big deal.
someone please help me
