She cannot spend succession money without court approval. It sounds like this succession should not have been administered and you and your co-heirs should have been placed in possession. You and your co-heirs need an attorney right NOW! The attorney should be in the Parish where the Succession was opened, which I assume is where Morgan City is. Do it as soon as you read this.
