I few years ago my mom passed away leaving the house to my sister . My sister was very abuse to my mom and had my name taken off the house..she also told my mom that I would give away the house to stranger's. To make a long story short. My sister is a bum that works a few days a week. Her bum son who us in his thirties and two kids and wife have lived there for three years in my moms house. What really gets me if things go in natural sucession my sister will die the bum son gets the house and chances are his wife could end up sole owner either by divorce or even death . How do I get over the pain of knowing a stranger got my mothers house and not me her daughter. I would have never given that house away. But a stranger ends up getting it anyway....I wish I could open up a window to heaven and say look mom you didn't want me to gave. But someone who isn't blood gets it. Any advice
Additional info, added Sunday October 23 2011, 7:51 am: I wanted to clear up that my mom did go through the legal channels to take off my name. This isn't a legal issue she was terrified if my sister its was elderly abuse to get what my sister wanted. Sorry for being unclear. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

It sounds as if you and your sister were on the deed as co-owners with your mother. Your name was removed, I assume without your permission. Transfer of ownership to sole ownership of your sister happened at the death of your mother.
The legal question at issue here is whether your name could be removed without your permission or compensation. This question must be answered by a lawyer and probably needs to be resolved in court. If the laws and your lawyer agree your sister wrongfully obtained ownership then I would suggest you ask your lawyer to do two things. First the matter has to go through the court system to resolve. While doing so your lawyer must or should ask the courts to bar your sister from selling the house and that she must continue to maintain the property in it's present condition or the condition it was in when your mother passed away. Which ever is of greater value. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Other than that there isn't a whole hell of a lot I can tell you. I do know that this is a court situation. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
