Alright, my mother died five years ago, my father is still alive and independent, as in able to support himself and all that, however my sister keeps coming up with “mom promised me this and mom promised me that” and she wants it now, currently she wants a piece of furniture which I picked up from my dad’s house and took to storage, his storage, she already (right after my mothers death) ransacked his house looking for a family wedding ring, and took it, with this argument, so what ever happened to inheritance coming down to the surviving spouse? And do other people know of relatives that are trying to pick everything from their parents? What would you guys do?

I do not know if you read it correctly, I put stuff in my dad's storage for him, I just drove it down there. I know it's in storage but he's got the key back and well I feel its still his.

Your sister is being a total skank and totally inconsiderate of anyones feelings but her own! She is being selfish and down right disrespectful! Dont give her one more single thing! If your mother had wanted her to have something she would have given it to her before she died or told someone else about it so everyone would know! She is using your mothers death to gain personal things for her own use and it is sooooo totally wrong and outrageous for her to do this! If I were you Id make sure your dads things and he r protectwed from her scavenging hands! Keep moving his important things to storage if u have too. Change the locks on his front and back doors and let neighbors know to call u if she is hanging around the house while u r away! Im soooo sorry u have to deal with this on top of your mothers death. My heart is with you

It alwasy seems that ther is one greedy person in the family that doesn't like to play by the rules. It's all about them. They don't care about anyone else. I would suggest to tell her that you don't appreciate her actions, but be careful as you may lose a sister over a piece of furniture. None of us 'earn' anything that is inherited, it's a gift given to us from others that have parted before us. It's not worth fighting over it, even though it's wrong of them to do so.

It is so sad!!!!!!!!!
If I were your father, I would divide up family heirlooms and draw up a will that would have ALL other assets, money, house, car, ect. given to charity.
You might suggest that yourself, it is his money, he earned it along with your Mother.
Some of the kids are spoiled into thinking that the parents "Owe" it to them. They don't.
Sad when children break up and hate each other forever over greed and money, they should all be ashamed of each other for not enjoying what time you have left with your father and honor your mothers memory instead of money grabbing.
Honor thy Father and Mother.
Peace and Good Luck!

if he gives you the stuff your mom promised you, thats fine. If you take it, thats stealing. You have to wait until he dies. Or simply, ask him if you can have it. If not, you have to wait! It is awful how families are torn apart by the death of a loved on. Tell your sisters to ask him if they can have the stuff, if he says no, tell them to leave it alone!!

In the U.S., all assets go to the surviving spouse if one dies. All of those assets technically belong to your father. If he passes away, it depends what is in his will. If he doesn't have one, the assets will be split up equally among his children.

You'r father still alive! Both of you committed robbery!!! Yes, you read me right. As long you'r father is alive, he owns everything. Both of you didn't ask him fo something!! So both of you committed ROBBERY!! If he wants, he could put both of you behind bars!!!
