Anyone else have issues with siblings who live elsewhere trying to control the household?

I have an older sister who seems to think she should be making all the decisions and gets angry when she is excluded, or thinks she's being excluded. She calls doctors, hospitals, and others without letting me know first (whereas I could probably provide the answer), pumps my mother for information, pumps other siblings for info, and gives unsolicited advice. Its annoying to say the least when that advice does not gel with my own ideas being that I am in residence. Anyway, anyone else have this issue?
