It sounds like you have a complex situation involving multiple issues. Here are some general guidelines and legal information that might help you:
- Funeral Costs: If you paid for your dad's funeral, you might have a claim to be reimbursed from the estate.
- Estate Distribution: If you believe your sister was unjustly awarded more from the estate, you might be able to contest the will or the distribution.
- Charges for Staying at Property: If you were in jail and not at your dad’s place, you should not be charged for staying there during that period.
- Communication and Conduct Issues: If the lawyers involved were unprofessional, you can include these details in your complaint.
