Family issues.

My Mom passed away suddenly last year. She lived between myself and my sister. All of my mom's belongings is at my sister's house. My mother always said throught out her time her on earth that when she passes away certain items goes back to the people who purchased them for her. She was refering to jewelry and clothing. She also stated other thing to happen to her belongings. My sister is holding my mom stuff from me and our other siblings. She wont speak to us or return our calls. She has blocked us all. I have reciepts for somethings i purchased. Like clothing, shoes, her bed, She is also holding my personal belongings that my mom borrowed from me. What can we do to get them?

Oh my…

Your family is mourning the loss of your mom. It’s a shame that your family is at odds over her belongings.

This is an emotional time for all of you. I am at a loss for words as to what to do in this situation.

I certainly hope that you will be able to settle this situation.

Am I correct in assuming that your mom didn’t leave anything in writing for you and your siblings?

I hardly have anything of my mother’s. She lost her home and all of her possessions in hurricane Katrina. Her love is what matters most to me. That is what I will carry in my heart always.

Perhaps other posters will have viable ideas for you.

I am very sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace as you continue to grieve during this difficult time.

I’m sorry for the loss of your mother. Did she leave a will with an executor responsible for distributing her belongings in the way she wished? If not, her wishes are nearly impossible to prove and unless you and all your siblings can come to some agreement, it’s unlikely that you’ll ever have items returned to you as you desire. Wills matter, and so many people never do them. I’m sorry for your hurt in this
