Forget about it. There aren't any JW's who really care about the bible and what it says anymore. Certainly not in any country with any internet access and a high literacy rate.

Legally the money is hers. If your grandfather did not want her to have it, he could have specified that in his will. I take it you too got 5 mil? I would just take it and live a good life and just leave that side of the family alone. If we tried to get our jw relatives to see the hypocrisy in their lives, we would be wasting good time on the situation.

Any scriptures or articles that may make her think about not taking the money will prompt
her to seek guidance from her congregation's elders, who will quickly tell her that she's
entitled to the money since there isn't anything legal saying she's not entitled to it.
Since when has the WTS turned down any money? Nope, the more she has the more
likelihood that some of it will go into their coffers.

Just hope that she keeps the money and enjoys it and not send it to the Watchtower.
You got your 5 mils, don't worry about hers.... that was your grandfather responsibility.

Squabbling over money in an estate does no one any credit. If she has a legal entitlement to the money it is extremely unlikely she will refuse to take it, she will probably see it as god blessing her. She didn't have to maintain contact with this wicked man and yet Jehovah saw to it that she benefited when he died.
Rather than worrying about whether she deserves the money she is going to inherit, plan what you will do with your share. Who knows she may forget to leave a will, living forever and all that and you may get the money back later.

I think you should take your share of the money and enjoy. Don't worry about what your sister does with her share. Don't be greedy.

You already know she is greedy...she wanted nothing to do with spending TIME with the man but is willing to spend his money which only proves she is self serving. Dont waste your time or your blood pressure trying to change this. If its hers its hers.
JWs also hate christmas but take christmas presents. They hate new years but take end of year bonuses. They hate thanksgiving and have a feast every damn thanksgiving.
You get my drift. Take your money...and close that door.

Thank you all...just to clear some things up...it is not 5 mill. That is around what my sister is already worth. And I and my 3 aunts and uncles took care of him for the last 10 years. He was a very hard man to get along with and changed his will 3 or 4 times, so we are just saying there is no will so it passes to my uncle and 2 aunts...my father passed away so the last 1/4 gets split by law to me and my sister, unless she refuses.

If there is a will that excludes your sister but includes your other relatives then go with it. You can always set up a private agreement between yourselves to split the money equally between those that cared for him espeacially if he wrote one of his carers out of his last will. If he made a will you should declare it and a solicitor should have a copy of it anyway. In UK wills get registered I don't know about US.
Not going with the will in the first place could get you in trouble later.
