That's interesting, but what's the question?
Re: controlling big sister
Where was the estate probated? The executor of the estate is, by statute, required to prepare an accounting and give a copy to
the other distributes. If you feel the estate was improperly distributed, you may bring an action in the Probate Court requiring the executor to account for all the estate assets and the fees of the executor can be reviewed. The executor is not supposed to
pay themselves for personal services unless the court authorizes them to do this. You may have to take your sister to court to recover estate assets.
