My brother wants to have an estate sell now, (to make it easier on him as executor when she passes), but my mom has only been in rehab for 2 1/2 weeks. She will probably go to long term care, but her wishes were not to get rid of things until her death and then split the money between the kids. My feeling is if the items are sold now, they should go into the account for my mother and we should not split any monies that don't belong to us now.
