Why did she end up winning if you don't mind me asking?
When my grandmother passed away my mom, aunt and uncle were all worried my other aunt would put up a fight about my other aunt (who is autistic) in terms of letting her stay in the duplex my grandmother had bought (and had always been paid outright for so no mortgage) since the value was included in the estate amount to be split. My autistic aunt didn't need the money she needed a place to stay. Luckily the other aunt didn't put up a fight but there was some stressful months there wondering just what she would do. That other aunt is someone who most have cut off because she's a user of people, manipulative, moocher so there was some real valid concern over just what she would do.
