‘I have worked for more than six months to get my elderly mother a place to live’

Dear Quentin,

I am mentioned in a will with one other sibling whom I haven’t spoken to in 8 years. 

I know she is alive, but she has nothing to do with me or my family. I’d like to know what my rights are. I have worked for more than six months to get my elderly mother a place to live before her home was almost foreclosed on for back taxes.
