Sorry to hear about you loss. Sometimes people get greedy in them situations,had it happen to me also.my grandfather had things that should have remained in the family,but I lived to far away at the time. When we went to settle the estate most was gone,family took and sold stuff without concidering anyone but themselves. I certianly hope you get the things back you love and want for handing down.

Greed happens all the time. Anger, bitterness, resentment, that only hurts you. It is only stuff. I know it had meaning to you, but she can't throw away your memories. It is what it is. Take the high road, be at peace, and honor the memory of your stepdad by remembering him, not by fighting about his stuff.

you would be amazed at how many families I deal with that fight over stuff after someone has passed. It is truly sad. That is why it is important to have a Will, an executor, and clearly spell out your wishes and desires in the one and to the other.

Agree with the others.
Emotions run high and people's judgement gets cloudy when there's a death.
When my father died, I was far away and my sisters trashed most of the stuff I had wanted.
Don't assume malice, and even if there is malice, focus on the good memories and ignore the "stuff".
