I have an older sister, wealthy, who sought and received conservatorship of Mother with alzchiemer's here in Kansas. Sister posted a 25,000 bond with county court to receive that power from County court, as sole conservator. Myself, poverty stricken, single, no real estate, retirement age. Mother had no legal last will and testament. Mother died, and sister tells me she lost access to bank accounts, with conservatorship legally ended, sister says Mother's property goes to estate, and perhaps Mother's farms to be auctioned off. Now what? I cannot afford a lawyer, I have to accept what sister's lawyer says, and play along, I have rented one of Mother's farms since 1977 and lived here, and spent a lot of money over years as new construction of dairy related additions of buildings, concrete walks, etc upon farm parents owned with verbal agreement from father I would receive the farm upon his death because of my personal many thousands of investments here, and also as a limited partner, as owner of half of the dairy cattle until father's death in 1999. Later, I rented the farm land of this and other parents' farm, until I had to quit for health reasons. So, what now? Do I at least receive this farm, or half of money from auction of both farms, as one of two surviving children? Sister is claiming the other farm, more land and better improvements as a showplace double value overall, as she used personal funds to pay for any extra expense of our Mother kept in assisted living, as total yearly income from renting farms and SS did not cover expense yearly of assisted living and other expenses of Mothers' property?
