What is the name of your state? New York
In my mothers will, she left the proceeds of her apartment to go to her 5 grandchildren. We finally are in contract with a buyer. Now my sister is saying it isnt fair that I have 3 sons and she has 2 so her sons should get more money. The apartment sold for $200,000 meaning each child would get approx. $40,000 to make it even. The Will states each should get 1/5. Her point is that my mother wrote her will wrong and she should have had $100,000 put in an account for my children and $33,000 would go to each of my sons and the other $100,000 go into an account for her children and each of her 2 sons would get $50,000. She said she should have contested the will. I know that is not what my mother wanted. Each child is an individual and they should all get the same amount of money and just because there is an extra child why should my kids get less money. Just an opinion, do you agree with her thinking.
