yes, you should probably seek a lawyer, preferably one that specializes in will, trust and estate law.

I don't know if I can give you an answer, but here are two suggestions:\n1) Contact the attorney that handled the estate and find out what the arrangements were.\n2) Talk to your step-sister and ask her (in a non-confrontational way) to show you the official documents and payment info.  If she resists, then go with 1)

You do have rights, where do you live, would assist if local. If money is holding you up in the battle, try locating a DADS or POPS in your area, I recommend DADS over Pops though. DADS can steer to to legal de facto or Ex Parte soulutions.

My husband died unexpectedly 3 weeks ago, without a will. I realize this is a brother but it works the same way.\n\nYou need to go to surrogate court.\n Fill out the form for a executor for small estate (as long as the estate is under $20,000).\n You must list all his assets, property and debts. \nThe filing fee is $1.\n In about 2 weeks (for me) you will get a official copy stating you are the executor of the estate. \nYou must liquefy all assets, pay off all debts starting with his funeral expenses. \nOnce that is paid, you pay off any credit cards or bills he has. After that is done, the remaining monies are distributed to his heirs. \n\nSurrogate court will be very happy to answer any of your questions but...they will not give out legal advice.

You should speak with an Estate Planning Attorney:\n" to preserve your  estate in a manner that allows you, your surviving spouse and their children to have the use and benefit of their property and at the same time, protect it from creditors and estate taxes."

Your question only brings more questions to mind. How do you know there is a Will? Is it a large estate? Is an Attorney already involved? Has anyone contacted you in this regard and who?\nIf you found a Will, I would suggest you take it to an Attorney.

http://www.legaldocs.com/misc-s.htm\n\nI am no lawyer, but I think you can make your demand in a well written letter.\n\nWrite to him:\n\nDEMANDD FOR COMPLETE ACCOUNTING OF TRUSTEE _____________ FOR THE YEARS ______ AND _______.\n\nTHIS IS A DEMAN FOR A FULL AND DOCUMENTED ACCOUNTING OF ALL FUNDS SAID TRUST, ______________(hereafter to be called Trust in this demand).  This is to include out expenses of all types for running said TRUST, lawyer fees for running Trust.  This is to include all accounting of fund presently in trustees and any distributions there of.\n\nYou are given 10 days for date of this demand to comply.\n\nSomething to that effect.  \n\nHave the document signed and witnessed and if necessary go to your bank where notaries are free and get them to notarize that that is your signature.  Send you document by registered signed receipt mail.  \n\nMake a formal complainant to the State of Ill. Bar  Association.  The BBB.  And if your brothers and or sisters or whom ever else are in this trust have them copied.  \n\nThey may want to help.\n\nIf this is your trust only.  Get on it quick.  My father left my mother an Estate, her lawyer robbed her blind and left her with no funds. \n\nAgain, I am no lawyer, but you must make your demand in writing as the lawyer can say you never asked for it.  I think you might have a Free Legal Service there also....contact them today!!! \n\nGood luck.

Go to the site below and click on the state the inheritance would be in and see if you have anything.  It is worth a try.

Be careful, if you are inheriting a deceased estate there may be some tax implications, depending on the assets in question. Speak to a tax accountant or financial planner for current advice. Better yet, speak to at least 2, that way you get a balanced opinion on the issue. \n\nCheers, L

Find a lawyer who knows the estate rules in your state and who will not be too expensive. If you call an office in a fancy high-rise office building that takes up 3 floors, you're not going to find one. Look for a lawyer who doesn't spend a lot of money on his office or on big ads in the Yellow Pages. Look for more than one. Or call the local lawyer referral service (in the Yellow Pages) and ask them for an inexpensive lawyer who does wills. They can usually refer you to 2 or 3 and you can decide which one you want to use.\n\nIf you have no children from a previous marriage or relationship, no real estate, and no specific items you want to go to certain persons, or to be put in trust for underage children, you can try one of the will form kits available online or at places like Staples or Borders. I don't recommend them because they don't know your particular situation or the law in your state. You want to wear "one size fits all," go ahead. If it doesn't look good, well, you can always buy another one!
