True. Also, she's turned herself into the aunt-from-hell that certainly won't be written into any wills in future. So, in for a penny, in for a pound?

Custodianship is not ownership. If that money came with legal addendums and they ignored them then they can be held accountable. I can't say to what end, but she could very well have a case.

Well look even if the grandmother hadn't put any explicit strings attached in the will it doesn't matter It matters that it's *her money* Parents have broad leeway to make decisions about how to spend your money as long as it's for your welfare but it only goes so far

Yeah, it's the combination of violating the will terms and actively and knowingly hiding it from OP. The car thing especially. "We knew the will had these terms, and we knew there wasn't much money left after these emergency expenditures, so we decided to use it anyway."
-
It's honestly purchasing the car that's the really damning part. There *could* be a legal argument made about the childcare costs (not a good one, but an argument), but the car is just full on deciding to screw OP over completely.

Looks like she's going for the lawsuit, to which I say "Good for her."

They blew 100 k on the baby?! If babies are that expensive how is anyone having a baby in this economy

I mean, “difficult pregnancy” could mean any number of things that could eat up 100k in a week.

Feel like texting your sister to say "oh yeah I knew our parents stole your money. ps they bought me a car" is a bad idea from a legal standpoint

I agree that legally she's completely in the right, but I suspect a lawsuit could be self-defeating. If the money's gone, all she can do is win a settlement from the parents' own wages, thus alienating people she might still need for financial support later on.
-
If she's winning a settlement and uses it wisely, that hopefully is the financial support she needs
