My mother is 88 years old and in moderate health. My sister has two minor children, live in a small crowed apartment and she does not get any child-support from her unemployed ex. The rest of my siblings and I are doing well and live in nice homes.My mother wants to give her house to my sister when she passes. My mother is very concerned about the two minor children living in a not so nice apartment. With that said, my mother wants to change her will and give the house to my sister with the two minor children. My mother asked me if I was ok if she gives the house to my sister. I stated " absolutely give her the house and the children will benefit living in the house." My other two siblings are irate that I told our mother it is ok to give the house to the apartment sister. Of note, during the pandemic, my sis with the two minor children, lost her job. They feel the house should be sold and the money spilt up between the siblings. I told them its mom's house and she can do whatever she wants. My sibling that don't want my sister to have the house are no longer on speaking terms with me. Please keep in mind my mothers house needs a lot of work and is not worth much.
How do I cope with the siblings that are no longer on speaking terms with me. My siblings and I were once very close and supportive of one another. This is no longer the case.
A lot of times an apartment is better than a house that is crumbling and a money pit.
