Help! My Mom Won’t Give Me My Inherited Apartment

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and thought this would be the best place to ask. So, here’s the deal: I inherited my grandma’s apartment two years ago. It’s legally mine according to her will. But my mom, Sofia, has been renting it out and keeping all the money. I’ve tried talking to her about it, but she just won’t budge.

It’s super frustrating because I could really use that apartment right now. I’m currently living with my friend Bruce, and while he’s awesome, it’s not a long-term solution. Plus, I feel like my mom is just ignoring my rights here.

I’ve thought about getting legal help, but I don’t want to create a huge family drama. My sister Aria thinks I should just let it go, but that’s easy for her to say since she didn’t inherit anything. My friend Aurora suggested I try to have a calm sit-down with my mom and explain how much this means to me, but I’m not sure if that will work either.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Should I just go ahead and get a lawyer involved, or is there a better way to resolve this without tearing the family apart? Any advice would be super appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Henry
