When a parent asks you to mediate inheritance decisions between siblings

My mother wants to change her will to leave everything to my brother because he's been taking care of her, but she's asking me to help convince my sister that it's fair. I can see why Mom feels this way and why my sister will be devastated, and I don't want to be in the middle of this but I already am.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Being asked to broker family inheritance decisions puts someone in an impossible position between competing claims of fairness and love.
