If the money is given to her, then really it belongs to her, right? Of course, lawyers will always find a way to engage in a law suite - it means income for them. So probably outside of speaking with her regarding whatever needs you might have (and hopes), you might also have to buy her out. Who knows, maybe Opus Dei will want to buy the property from you - charge them extra and buy and even bigger place next door! Otherwise, call the lawyers, and all of you can spend the 1/6th worth on several other people's incomes. Good luck!

Norris: What you can do? Your best bet is to have a talk with your sister, so that both sides can express their respective positions. Members are often confused in their understanding of loyalty to God and family. They often confuse the former with Opus Dei (God's will is expressed through the prelate and the superiors), and the latter with Opus Dei (their "supernatural" family). If conversation should fail, then a lawyer would best answer the question "what can we do legally?". Good luck! p.s. Readers are welcome to provide suggestions. Dear N. Norris:

We did not know she has willed everything to Opus Dei! What can We legally do to keep Opus Dei from owning part of our family property upon her death???

I have had contact with Opus Dei Priests and numeraries that have given me a very bitter taste in my mouth. Thank you for this website.

I happened to browse through your site, and it sure does contain information that are not available elsewhere. Anyway, I would want to know your (moderator's) story and the purpose of this site. Also, is this an anti-Opus site? I think one of your page inaccurately enumerates the expectations of numeraries to be the requirement of all members. Thanks Hi there.
