I talked with my lawyer today. He received an update from my sisters' lawyer. Yes, it's a miracle, she actually went and saw a lawyer.
First of all, they need to take care of some estate business. The only thing that I can think of is the money that was left in an account at the nursing home for items that my mother needed. I am sure there is nothing at the house that I would want or that my sister would be willing to give me.

The first thing that is going to happen is, the house/property is going to be appraised. I would like to think this process won't take more than a week. If I haven't heard anything from my lawyer or my sister by the end of July, I'm to contact my lawyer and he will "set a fire" under them to keep things moving.

This is good news because things are actually starting to move along and I do not have to deal with my sister. The lawyers will talk to each other. I'm sure everything will move along much faster this way.
