Do I get more money?

Can't work this out. I've changed a few details so it's not very identifiable and posting here for traffic.

Recently my mum died and my sister and I were left with £150,000 between us. (Bungalow had already been sold as mum had just moved into a nursing home) Will says everything is split between us two. But, my sister had a loan for £8000 from mum when she sold the bungalow to buy a car, she had only paid back £1000 of this when mum died.

Question is, how is the £150,000 split taking into account that sister has got an extra £7000?

Please don't stress about it , your mum simply wouldn't want it .
Its only money , but its a good amount each anyway , so is it worth unpleasantness .
Perhaps your sister hasn't thought of including the loan

Just ring a solicitor and get 10 mins advice.

You might get free legal advice on home insurance or through trade union. Join which and get free legal advice.

Agree re checking legal cover on home insurance/bank accounts.

A solicitor won't give 10 mins advice as without proper information which likely takes a while, they can't accurately advise. Plus they're a business! If everyone got 10 mins free advice and went on their merry way, we'd have no need for solicitors!
