When Wendy’s mother passed away, her sister Cynthia claimed Wendy didn’t deserve an equal inheritance share, citing her lack of involvement in their mother’s care. Tensions escalated during a visit to their childhood home, leaving Wendy emotionally drained and seeking advice.
Wendy, 35, a mother of twin 8-year-old boys, focused on her family while Cynthia, 37, spent nearly a decade caring for their ill mother. After their mother’s death, Cynthia refused to share the inheritance—$85,000 in savings, a parcel of land, and the family home—claiming Wendy forfeited her rights. Shockingly, Wendy discovered their mother had legally transferred all assets to Cynthia, despite previously promising the house to both sisters. Feeling betrayed and judged, Wendy is torn between contesting the inheritance, confronting Cynthia, or accepting the situation.
