NSW How Do I Get My Inheritance Share?

[Kate22]

My mother bought a house with my sister as it has a 1 bedroom attached to the main house where my sister resides with her large family. My mother put $250k into the purchase and my sister just pays the mortgage.

My mother is now terminally ill and she has told me that it is stated in her will that I will get a percentage of the value of the house. My sister will want to keep the house but how do I get my share of the inheritance as she can't even afford the mortgage now?

It's causing me a lot of anxiety as I do not get along with my sister.

Thank you

I strongly suggest you raise this with your mother and suggest she re-visit her lawyer and check that the will is appropriate to achieve her wishes. Otherwise it could cause a lot of grief. A problem like this could waste the whole estate on a legal fight.
