What is the name of your state? GA
I am at my wits end. I've called 2 lawyers, both claim if there is no "real" property, there is no need to fight. Everywhere I turn, I am told to "shut up and go away". I was her daughter, TOO. She loved me, too! She was 100% dependant on my sister for her care. I have recordings of her telling me what she WANTED to happen. I have recordings also, where she felt my sister was controlling her/her finances/her affairs and there was nothing she could do... My mother died in September, my "sister" and I are her only 2 (daughters) survivors. My sister claims she has a will that does NOT have my name in it, anywhere. She claims she does not have to show it to ANYONE, not to mention even PROBATING it, since hers is the only name mentioned. She claims she can do "whatever she pleases" since she is my mothers' only "heir": I don't know exactly what my mothers' assets are, only that she had a sizable checking account, and cemetery plots 1000 miles away that neither of us are likely to ever use. There are also CD's, insurance policies, and other investments my mother had. I don't know the specifics of any of them. I called my sister at work and asked her to provide me a copy of my mothers will. She told me to NEVER call her again at work, and instead to call her at home... I called her home, left ONE message--- basically--- to please provide me a copy of my mothers' will and her death certificate. LESS than 3 hours later, her number had been disconnected. My mother told me several times where the copy of her will was.. my sister found it before I could get to it...and since it mainly benefitted me, it no longer exists.... She had the will made at the JAG office, I contacted them, and they told me the will (made in 1998) was no longer in their records.
There must be something I can do. Each of my mothers' assets alone don't amount to much, but when added together- there is a sizable estate.
My mother would have been 90 years old two weeks after she died. She died THREE hours before I arrived to see her--after driving over 15 hours straight..... and exactly 1 week after my sister threatened to have her life support disconnected......... THERE MUST BE SOMETHING I CAN DO. Even if I gain NOTHING. Her ARROGANCE, and what she is doing is WRONG- and there must be some sort of resolve out there for me........
I just don't know what it is..........
