She shouldn't even need to pay half.....Maggie's mum wanted her belongings to go to family foremost...not be sold unless it was absolutely necessary if no one else wanted it....sadly these sorts of flash points DO occur after a bereavement but once sentimental items are sold there's no second chances....if she just wants the money I'm sure there will be other items no one wants at the end of the process she could raise a few bob from...not from things that meant a lot to your mum x |

She should have asked before deciding to sell it. |

Why not tell your sister that it has sentimental value for you Maggie and that you would rather it wasn't sold but was lovingly cared for? |

Muffy you said what I was going to say. So you asked for it on first refusal Maggie. Sister needs to re-read the will. |

um but she has asked you. As I say, certainly a difficult one and highly emotive. |

All other effects were first refusal to other family members not up to be sold if valuable first and foremost. So Genealogy based or not ...selling it wasn't in the remit for her effects your mum set x |

It's probably not worth a lot, most aren't. £10 -£40 max probably. Porcelain prices are at a low anyway so tell your sister you would definitely be better off holding onto it for now :-) |

That's certainly a tricky one. "Genealogy stuff" is such a loose term and almost anything could be shoehorned into that cartegory. I would, however, be careful about what you say on a public message board. |

? geneology ? tea-set. Can't see the connection but I can see where the fall out might be when sorting out family possessions. ......best of luck-j |

She might have a shock - not everything old is valuable. Have a japanese teaset circa 1963 in loft - never used it - seen them valued at £10-£20. |

Sister and I have nearly had our first 'falling out' over mum's stuff. |
