Time and time again, estates can completely break the bonds of families. Rhonda, is your sister the "Executor" of your dad's estate? Or, is an attorney or a financial advisor the "Executor"?

The executor of the estate holds the strings to the legalities. Unless you get what was due you, even if $1 then I WOULD NOT sign off until you get what IS due you. In not signing until then, you can force sis to mitigate her duties if she's the legal executor of the will. Until everyone signs off, this will hold up your sister's and any other heirs from receiving their share, as well. In order to process the estate, everyone must sign off after getting their share and most definitely not BEFORE.

DON'T SIGN....What do you have to lose? A dollar? Sooooo sorry for your troubles. This happens much too often. Been there and it took ten years and legal fees up the kazoo, however, justice ruled and we won.

Good luck, luv....this is just my opinion. Follow your heart.....barb
