Q: My father passed away last November. About two years ago, I lost my job. My daughter was in a club sport and I couldn’t afford to continue for paying it, so my father volunteered to pay the monthly $600 fee. Before my mother passed away three years earlier, she asked that I take over the finances (paying bills and such) because she had always done it and she didn’t think my father could do it. My father had no issue with this arrangement and had full access to all his accounts and statements. Fast forward to today, and my sister and I are in the middle of selling the house and dividing up the money in his accounts. I received a letter from her with transactions going back to 2022 from our dad’s account to my account for my daughter’s monthly sports fee, and they totalled about $14,000. The letter said she will be subtracting this amount from my portion of the inheritance. My father didn’t ask that I repay him for the fees and he didn’t keep any written record that it was meant to be an advance on my inheritance. Can my sister do this? She threatened to take me to court if I don’t agree. — Mallory
