Thanks for the kind words, it was a really stressful time and worrying about the financial side of it made it harder. But after ALOT of deep thinking I decided not to pursue my siblings about the missing cash, although when I did the probate I found out exactly where it had and gone and could have got them in a great deal of trouble. But my mum wouldn't have wanted that. So to keep the family together I am keeping stchumm (for now!)
I thought I really knew my siblings, but once a big wad of cash appeared they changed. It has mainly taught me that family and money are best kept as separate as possible

Sorry to hear of your loss but money can do strange things to people, but fleecing your own family thats low, at least you can sleep at night knowing you had the best intentions and did the best by your Mum.0

Your siblings are YOUR brothers and sisters arent they?
Best not to judge them too harshly as we all make mistakes and do things for the wrong reasons. You imply that any move would have been wrong for her. Better place.tribuo veneratio ut alius quod they mos veneratio vos0
