Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Assuming your Mom even left a Will and if your sister is the Executor of your Mom's estate, there is probably a probate process she needs to follow before she can release any assets, IF you are in fact an inheritor. This process takes time, sometimes months. I'm Executor/Personal Representative for my Aunt's estate. She passed the beginning of this January and probate has not yet closed to date so her heirs have not yet received anything. Also, if she had debts she was obligated to pay this comes out of the estate so there's a possibility that there is nothing to inherit at the end. You need to know if there was a Will, and if there was, who is the Executor. If there was no Will, someone can apply to be the Executor/Personal Representative.
If there is no will here then you need to ascertain if sister was the caregiver living in the home, and you need to followup on who will administer the estate. I would see an attorney to represent yourself if you believe that there is anything of value in the estate. If there is not, simple let sister know you have no idea what's going on with her, but if she ever wishes to talk you are there and she can reach out. Then get on with your life. I am very sorry for your loss. None of us can conceivably guess at what's happening with your sis.
If a Will and it goes to Probate, all beneficiaries are entitled to a copy. It will be public once its filed with probate. So if not a beneficiary, you can still get a copy.
No Will, then someone has to become Administrator performing the same duties as the Executor. The State will determine how the Estate is distributed.
Probate can't even be opened until around 9 or 10 days after death. Can't be closed, in my State, for 8 months. This is to assure that all debts have been provided to the estate. All debts must be paid before the beneficiaries get anything.
You need to consult with a lawyer to see what your rights are.
Perhaps you can give us some more details about this situation.
For example, did you live in the house with mom before she passed, and were her caregiver? This is a caregiver support forum, I am assuming you were caregiving before she passed, which is how you found yourself here.
When you say your sister(s) are "barely giving me any assets" - to what assets are you referring? Are these assets of your, or yours shared with mom, or are you referring to mom's estate?
Some more details would perhaps help us to give you some meaningful advice you might find useful.
