I think you hit the nail on the head!So it sounds like your sister has lived rent free all her life, and has never had to pay rent or a mortgage. Do you really think she is planning to emigrate? Or is she just kicking the can down the road?
I think you are being very fair and she is unreasonable to expect to stay rent free in the house indefinitely. I wonder was she expecting to be left the house.

So as a compromise I requested that the house be sold and they buy a smaller unit and if they needed a loan I would assist and bridge any gap in the cost as she wouldn't be in a position to get a mortgage in her stage of life.
It is not a relationship if it is being maintained by one person exploiting another. Your mothers wishes as stated in the will should be observed. Otherwise it is your mother as well as you who is being disrespectedOut of interest, how old is your sister, if she is too old now to get a mortgage, why would she be even considering emigration in five or six years time? Emigration is a huge upheaval for any family especially so for parents getting on in years. It looks like your sister us burying her head in the sand and can't face moving from the home she has become accustomed to living in these past number of years. Hope you come to an amicable solution OP, it's very important to try and preserve the relationship between the two of you.
