Suing my sister
My sister was executor of my mother's estate. She did not perform her duties correctly. Kept nearly all of the money for herself and apparently spent it. I was cheated out of tens of thousands, but never did anything about it because I did not think it would do any good, anyway. In the will, apparently, my sister was given mineral rights to some property that my mother owned (the property was sold, but not the mineral rights), and someone recently discovered oil on the property. Sister is now flush with oil royalties, and I think I may have a case for her being required to pay me what I am owed. Do I?

Probably, but you will need a lawyer. Should be "well" worth it. My cousins and I recently were notified we had mineral rights from our grandfather that he acquired in the 1930s.

As soon as I get a copy of the will, I'm going to a lawyer ...

Money is the root of all evil. It even causes families to break apart.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Not always. If people are generally good and learned how to share/ do the right thing its not. Good luck CB. It sounds as if you have a long road ahead of you but hopefully your sister will do the right thing.

Glad we have two philosophers on here now. 
I've seen too much of this kind of stuff divide families, and it's happened to mine.
Whether it's the love of money or money itself that is evil, the end result is the same - broken families forever.

One cannot chose his/her kin. One can only chose his/her friends. Sometimes, only sometimes, kin turn out to be friend as well.

My sister will only do the right thing if forced to by law. Hopefully, that will happen ... and, yes, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. I just want what is owed me, and for her to be held accountable for her actions ...
