Here's the deal....

my mother and father died within 8 months of each other of illness. My younger sister inherited everything because my younger brother and I were "disowned" by our parents for something we believed in and wouldnt back down from their opinion. My sister started with us, but when Dad was diagnosed she decided to kiss their **** because of the Will? Dad dies as expected, a big scene at the funeral was made when my brother shows up (I was in the hospital at the time, unfortunately) and my sister had the police escort him away from the funeral. After the funeral, she and her husband move in with Mom so Mom wouldnt be alone. Mom dies unexpectantly 8 months later and sister decides she better "allow" us to the funeral, especially when some of my mother's sisters chimed in. They knew I was coming this time and I was not "in the mood" for my sister's dramatics. They also made her understand that I was the eldest, therefore was now the head of the family. (She didnt like that!). No scenes were made and she put on the act she was expected to - greeting people, smiling, etc. But my poor brother was unnerved. He kept thinking she was going to have us arrested somehow and I excused him to go wait at a friend's home to calm his nerves. Long story short, after the funeral the Will was read without notifying my brother and I of the date (we both lived in other states), and it was found my sister and mother had made a new Will right after our father had died giving everything to our sister. My brother and I are not poor, but we have needs. He had a son (also her godson) who was mentally & physically challenged and she knew our nephew needed financial help. I called my sister, after cousins informed me of the Will reading, and asked her what she was going to do. She said it was all hers to do what she wished. I reminded her about our youngest nephew - that our brother and I only wanted a trust fund of some sort made for the nephew, and she said that the kids were disowned with the parents - too bad for him. So I put in a lawsuit - she takes the money and "disappears" with her husband. For 5 years we never found her and we tried. Then I received a phonecall fron her "husband" who said she passed away from a heart attack (she did had a bad heart) and asked me for money to have her cremated! He was at his family's home in upper New York State. I asked where did all the inheritance go (it was a huge amount) and he said simply: "things". I almost sent him the money until my husband stopped me. He smelled a rat. He told his brother-in-law we couldnt and we never heard more from him. I called my brother and we cry over our sister's passing and the nephew, who had passed away that summer (the ill one) at age 19. The 7th year of the "great escape", as we named it, my niece calls me on her cel one day and says her father was on the main phone talking to our sister. I nearly jump out of my skin! He was asking her personal questions only we would know the answers and it was her. She just decided to look up his number and say hello! He gave me her number in Florida and I called. She told me to go to H@ll and hung up, but it was her!Now the rest of the family says sue her for not only our share of the inheritance, but the pain and suffering she caused with the faked death in 2005. My brother says she's alive and thats all he cares about. Forget about the money. I dont care either but she needs to be punished somehow. What should I do?
