Can I sue my step-sisters and granddaughter for not respecting me?

How long ago did your father marry this homewrecker?

Seeking2topro, your step-mother is gone. Can't you and your sister start from today working together with your step-sisters to help your Dad? Or would you rather rehash what everyone did in the past for the next 10 or 20 years?

Ok, so we are not sure who was given the house in the Will or if she even had one. So that will be hung up in probate for a while. But we do know they live there. That means they can keep you out (tenant's rights) and you cannot ask them to leave at any time. So if you got a restraining order against them, you would have to stay away from the house.
Be very careful what you say and do when you are there. Take some anti-anxiety meds before you go there. If it gets ugly, kiss Dad and leave.

Oh, I see. This is really about money. Of course.

Your father MARRIED this woman. Of course he would pay for the burial. Who do you think should have paid for it? Why didn't he take out insurance on her?

Seekping2topro, you wrote in your original message "He is my father! They have their own father. " Therefore, your father is in fact their step-father, since he was married to their mother.

Try extending the olive branch... work together as a team to help your Dad.

Curious, how did you and your sister allow your step-sisters keep you both out of the family life? Apparently these step-daughters care very deeply about your Dad if they are still part of his life and being a caregiver. And it sounds like they are allowing you to visit your Dad, I don't think it should matter if they are there in the house or not. Apparently they have their reasons.

The property belongs to my dad now. That's why the step children felt threaten because their mom died first!

My dad's wife was always sick. She should have known better. Life insurance, burial, etc. I told her many times to get those set up! All she does was gambling! I hate that woman and her family!

My dad and uncle paid for her burial. The stepdaughters thinks that they are entitled to the estate and I don't think they get that percentage. They must pay back my dad and my uncle for the burial. Plus their grand daughter and her two small kids are living there free at my dad 's expenses. He is paying for three or four people at his house. That is NOT caretaker role. Okay...

Their mother was a homewrecker. She never let my father to see me or my sister since they got married. They got married without us. And she spoiled her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Nothing for us, dad's grandchildren or his great grand children. He never knew or met them because of her! Now that family is trying to push us out of picture because they hoped that Dad will think we don't care about him and thinks that they cares about him. They sure had him fooled! I just want that family OUT! Oh one thing I would like to add.... they didn't bring him to hospital when he complained about blurry vision. They went on their own thing as they please. My Dad caretaker's? Yeah they are lousy!

seekingtopro, A restraining order can backfire on you. You don't own the property and have yet to tell us who does.

By the way, what does paying for the burial have to do with anything? Just curious why you'd bring that up.

What do you mean that he is not their step-father? They are the children of his late wife, yes? Anyway, it hardly matters whether they are cousins or family friends or fellow church members. Your father apparently is OK with them being there.

It doesn't sound like they are preventing you from visiting your dad. You may be able to get a court order if that were the case. But they merely refuse to leave if you show up when they are there. I doubt there is a law against that.

Um, probably not.

Wouldn't the most simple solution be for your father to tell his stepdaughters, "Could you please leave for a little while, so I can visit privately with my daughter"? It is his house and unless he is totally incompetent and has a guardian he gets to say who is in his house. What would you sue over?

I am very, very sorry that you don't have a good relationship with these people who were so important in your father's life. Bringing up the "death do us part" thing sounds like you blame these women for the end of your father's marriage. Is that realistic?

Could you possibly start over, meet with these women, agree that you all want what is best for your father, and offer to cooperate with them? That would be extremely hard, I'm sure, but it would be wonderful.

My two sons and my husband's three daughters got along splendidly, and all 5 were involved in his care. Now that he is gone they continue to get along, socialize with each other, invite each other to life milestones, etc. A blended family can be an opportunity to have more people in your circle of love. I am so sorry it isn't like that for you.

The house is in whose both names? That's pretty important as to who has rights to be on the property.

It is NOT their step father! Can't sue...okay. How about restraining order?

No, you cannot sue them. Why not call the adult step-children and ask what can you and your sister do to help them take care of your father, their step-father.
