My mother recently passed away. The last time she was admitted to the hospital, DB gave DS my mother's ring to hold on it (It's insured for $4500.)
DS already had her furs (there are 2). According to DS, my mother gave them to HER when she went into an independent living facility 12 years ago. DS is now saying the furs are HERS. Mom gave them to her... then she says she wants the ring even though she can't bring herself to wear it.
I am not the type to wear furs or expensive rings but I thought I might like my mothers'. I tried to tell DS the fair thing is to figure out how much the furs and ring are worth and pay the other siblings (there are 3 of us) their share if one of us keeps something. I don't know if DB is thinking about any of this or not since there are other things with her estate that we still have to divide up
It really irks me DS is being this way and wondering if I should push it. I love DS and really don't want anything to come between us.
Anyone experienced something similar? How did you handle it?
