Relative wants to set up a charity in my deceased sisters name - not happy

My twin sister died before Christmas last year. She and I were estranged from our Mother for years before my sister's death and I am still no contact. I have spoken about my Mother on threads at the time of my sister's death which hasn't even touched the surface of what she has put us through.

I have now heard my Mother is planning on setting up a charity in my sister's name. I am extremely upset that she is trying to claim my sister in death when she wanted nothing to do with her in life. I accept this is probably guilt on her part but the situation was of her own making.

I know setting up a charity is a good thing and I feel awful being opposed to it in that respect but it really isn't what my sister would want. I don't feel too comfortable going into details and I'm not sure if it's relevant anyway?

Can I oppose this somehow? Prevent her from using my twin's name? I feel sick that she is using my twin sister in this way.

I dont think you can stop her.

But to be honest i would just let her get on with it
