Who get's what can do strange things to people after a death. Apparently it's effecting them pre-death also.
That being said, I get the feeling that there are misplaced and unfounded entitlement issues going on here, issues that proceed the death.
Do they talk to your father directly about the estate or is this all backstabbing talk?
If you think your dad is clueless to this you might want to have a light conversation about what he thinks the rest of the inheritors expectations are. If he's not in touch then suggest he have a talk with sis/bro in law.
I'm sure that you have a phone with the ability to record conversations. Use it next time, just in case.
When my adoptive dad died my have sister by adoption hoovered around my mom like a vulture.
With my biological family I have told them only TWO people will get anything, my younger sister Julie, and my best friend John. If my younger sister wants to share that with the rest of our family, it would be up to her. But it still remains you have to put your wishes in writing so that there is no dispute. That is what my late mother did, and I am glad she did because it made all the legal stuff far easier.
