Mums death and sibling problems

I will try to keep this short, my mum died this week. My sister has been estranged from the family for 20 years. She has 2 kids 22 and 24. My mother saw them up until age 2 then never again Last year she tried to reconnect with my parents for money reasons only, she got remarried and bought a new house. The reconnection lasted weeks then nothing again. We both live around a mile from my parents. I on the other hand have been a normal daughter, my kids 18 and 20 have always been around them, i visit them, look after them etc ...normal stuff. I had to tell my sister she died and nows shes back on the scene playiing fake supporting my dad. My dad has already discussed with me splitting some inheritence money 50/50 with my sister. I dont think my mum woud have wanted this. My sisters attitude really riles me up and i have to keep stopping myself from messaging her my thoughts. The funeral is next werk and i know ill have cross words with her for showing up. How do i handle this?

OP I'm so sorry for your loss. Try to ignore your sister as much as possible and focus on grieving for your lovely mum ❤

"There is no will so everything goes to my dad"
OP That depends on the value of your DM's estate. If over £270,000 (which is not difficult if there is a house...) then children could get a share. There's an easy checklist at:
