SISTER FIGHTING FOR MONEY AIBU

In November we lost our Mother whom i loved dearly.
I have 3 children under 10 that I'm also trying to console. I have 2 siblings.

My mother left me in charge of her all her finances. My elder sister was not trusted by my mother for various and neither was my brother. My mother knew me to be a completely honest and fair daughter. I am honoured that my mother trusted me so much.

She left a few thousand pounds in my care. I had told both my brother and sister that once all the bills and various outgoings were complete I would equally divide up the money.
My brother had no issues with this and agreed this was the right thing. My sister's attitude towards me gradually changed. She became cold and hostile, freezing me out and her boyfriend became very rude to both my husband and I

She then demanded money from me for "clothes for the funeral to look sharp". It went from that to a visit from her on my son's birthday when she started swearing and slapped me across my face demanding that I split the money immediately. It was very upsetting. It's gone all quite Jeremy Kyle and I'm completely shocked at her behaviour.
I'm fustrated with my brother as he is sitting on the fence not wanting to get involved and his girlfriend is siding with my sister.
There are still pending items that are due to come out of the cash. I am still grieving my mum and feel close to break down over this disgusting mess. I paid some money into my sister's account to quiet her down, but her boyfriend recently threatened my husband for all money immediately.
I could never believe that she could behave like this over money, when we are suffering a huge loss. AIBU, did I do the right thing??? AIBU to want to cut her off for ever, because right now I feel I no longer want her in my life.
Sorry for the long rant, it's been a really dreadful time.

@allmycats sorry if you think there are inconsistencies. I am posting on a public forum and I do not wish to "be more factual".

Bloody Hell allmycats that is so bloody intrusive!

Deni I am sorry I mention LOA in the first place. But the links I posted would have shown anyone who read them, that you don't always need them either!

That's why I put them up, cos it wsas easy to read and I thought it would reassure YOU, not offer us a stick with which to erroneously beat you!

All I can say, after suporting DH through his DMs death, is that all you can do is your best and then just let go of it all! Basically, get it doen and dusted then fuck 'em! Leave them to making themselves miserable and don't give them another second of your time, worry or effort!

Best of luck getting to the end of it!

By LOM I meant LOA.

Good luck OP.

Sorry, I did not mean to be really 'intrusive'. I was just trying to help and
assist the OP in 'managing' her sister.
I will not post again on this thread.

@allmycats please don't feel offended and thank you for trying to help x

My mum didn't leave a will because she didn't dream this could ever happen.

The thing is that no-one expects to die suddenly but this is the reason why everyone with assets or children should write a will.

When you are grieving, the last thing you need to be thinking about is how to fairly and legally distribute any assets.

If people write a will there is no argument about what should happen because it’s all there in black and white.

Op doesn't need to go and see a probable solicitor. She's prob under the probate threshold (£5k). Just ignore your sister op and carry on as you are.
