Judge me for giving my sister the cheap blender and keeping the good one

Our aunt died and left two blenders, a note, and no lawyer. The note said 'split the kitchen.' The Vitamix was the one we used at her house. The NutriBullet still had the sticker. I took the Vitamix because I cook. I gave my sister the NutriBullet and a check for $80, which is what a used one costs on the neighborhood board.

She says I looted a death. I say I paid the difference and I am the one who makes soup.

Their side

She would say we should have drawn straws, that $80 does not buy the memory of the good machine, and that I decided while she was still in the driveway.

Ask: Is keeping the tool you will use, and paying, a fair split — or a quieter kind of grabbing?
