Re: so my mum died this afternoon...

just a small update...
I am going to go to the funeral - as both my sisters asked me to go - for them - we have also been footed with the bill for it all as 'dearest mummy' had no life insurance or money left over...nothing...so we have to foot the £2500 bill!! she done nothing for me whilst alive and now she has gone I have to pay out of my own pocket to bury her!!! and cos no ones on the dole we get no help at all !
but all her sisters and co (aunts and uncles) are treating me and my sisters like lepers and not contacting us regarding the funeral arrangements - which they made...and left the bill to us - at one point they told us that we were not getting in the funeral car!!
but the last laugh will be on them as the family house was bought by said mother way back in the early 90's - from my grandad so that it would stay in the family..and given that we are next of kin then the house is legally ours...lawyers are already working on the paperwork for that to go through without their knowledge...the thing is said aunts and unlces think that the family house is in my grandads name...and that its theirs when he decides to go...boy are they in for a shock..
and I dont have too much of a say in it as both sisters want to sell the house when it all goes through...they have told me that I should recieve about £45k from my share of the house sale.. but I feel it may mean that certain relatives wont talk to me ever again when they find all this out....I am really torn over it all - guy at work say that the money I get can be called a compensation pay out due to the way I was treated as a kid...

what would you do in this situation...my heads spinning due to this...really stressing me out...yeah the money would be hand to say the least but its not my/our fault that this is how its happened...mum died, next of kin (us) are legally left what she had - no will nothing like that - just the house..
