Standard boiler plate for magazine publication. I have no lawyer nor an agent, but you said your sister "the trial lawyer" said it would be possible to get back the rights.
So now I expect your sister to do this at no charge to me. I mean if it is that easy.
Oh and the story was published more than 20 years ago.
If I was really concerned I would be contacting Reader's Digest who now owns the rights.

Actually, no I didn't say any such thing. I said it was a matter of contract law. I also said that you should consult your lawyer or agent. Hopefully you read your contract more carefully than you read my post.
