They are the only parents that I have ever known. However, they did not legally adopt me. I was named the executor of his estate because everyone in the family knew this was his wish and that I was raised by him and they all considered me his daughter. I have put the home up for sale and now one of his sisters wants the proceeds from the sale. What I would like to know is what are my rights regarding his home?"
