The UK typically follows a "per stirpes" distribution for inestate deaths. First off, if your brother had any children or if his parents were alive, they would inherit the estate.  Failing that, then his siblings would be next in line.  However, if his siblings predeceased him and left issue of their own (i.e. children) then the children would take the place of their deceased parent.  In your case, your brother's estate would be split into 4 parts with each sibling's family getting a quarter.  The two living siblings would get 25% apiece and the children of the deceased siblings would split their respective parents' 25%.  If for example one deceased sibling had three children, then those 3 children would split 25% of your brother's estate.  But, there are some jurisdictions that have modified intestate succession in some ways and its best to consult a local lawyer.  For example another form of per stirpial distribution would take the 50% that would go to the predeceased siblings and divide that amount among all the children of those two siblings.  Therefore if one predeceased sibling only had one cild then under the previous example, that child would receive the full 25% that would've went to his/her parent.  UNder this modified per stirpial distribution, that child would instead split 50% of your brother's estate with the children of the other deceased sibling.  So if that sibling had 4 children, then the 5 of them would split 50% or receive 10% apiece.  So it could make a big difference.  I can't say for sure what the current state of the law is in the UK, but the two scenarios I've described are the standard standard per stirpial distribution that has evolved from the Enlgish Common Law and is the practice in the majority of jurisdictions in the United States.  The only other possbility is whgat's called a per capita distribution which simply means only the surviving siblings get anything.  They would split the estate and the children of deceased siblings get nothing. This is disfavored in the UNited STates and only occures when specifically stated in a will.  Again, I don't believe this is the state of the law in the UK, but you should seek local legal advise to make sure.

That is a very questionable and controversial topic. Some think so, others do not. I personally just dont know. I would like to think that the family members I have lost are still around. I miss them terribly.

No brothers and three sisters.  I could be mistaken.  Maybe he had two half-brothers, I heard someplace.  Then too don't forget his  half-cousin Jerry.

really good question. i have 4 boys and 1 girl. my daughter and i have always been super close. she does so much for me, and is very loving and kind. my 1st son died a few years ago. my 2nd son is really good to me...lives down the street. he shows his love to me more through material things, but i know he'd do anything for me. my 3rd son is adopted...from birth...and is severely mentally ill (extreme drug and alcohol use while in utero). he's been extremely difficult and has brought a lot of fear, sadness, and trauma to the rest of us. but we've always shown him that we love him...he just doesn't have the capability to show love. sadly, he has chosen to live unmedicated, and his life isn't an easy one. he would probably do anything for me if i asked him to, but he has chosen to seperate himself from the family...it's sad. my son-in-law is very much my son too, and he shows me daily how much he cares about me...i'm very lucky to have these awesome "kids" in my life.

I don't know of any that do this for adults, but you might try the Make A Wish Foundation, which helps kids. http://www.wish.org/home/aboutus.htm  They might know where you could go. As an alternative, go to your local newspaper and ask them to do a story about your brother. Some generous pool company might donate a pool to him. Same for people who sell motorcycles.

I don't know for sure, but I do know he had fallen out with at least one of his brothers not long before he died, then they made up, but maybe he didn't get chance to change his will. It's a sad loss.

I don't understand your question.  Social services for who?  The surviving parents or siblings?

You are so right!  I grew up without a mother (she died when I was a year old) and when ALL of us were together, there were six at the most.  Now my daughter has her sixth one on the way  ...and my son-in-law has parents and siblings and there are foster kids, too.  So tomorrow we'll all get together with kids screaming and pies and dressing, and chicken and dumplings and a big turkey and a baked ham and babies napping...and it will be wonderful.  I wish you could join us!

Yeah, a Couple, They were BOTH my best friends, I gave them my newborn,(They couldn't have kids, and I had 2 little ones, coming out of an abusive marriage & facing single motherhood!) They were the Best People ever! They all died when his plane lost a wing. I miss them terribly. I think it's true that "Only the Good die young!".

The reports you need would have been filed in the state and county that he died in. Any death,to my knowledge that is not by natural causes is a coroner's case.Your first call should be to the coroner's office in the county of which he died.Most coroner's will sit down and talk with you if you have proof of who you are and make an appointment,generally the ones I've spoke with are very nice.The coroner could give you a copy of the death certificate because he or she would have had to do the autopsy and sign the death certificate.They would be able to answer almost any questions you would have or point you to any other office you might need to go to depending on what questions you have.If you have knowledge that this was not a death by natural causes then you would need to tell the coroner and the police.After doing an internet search,I realized that because you are in Hawaii,laws may be different,so I am listing some sites I found that may help you get started.Also you could do your own search.Just type in your search bar on your computer: how to get autopsy report in hawaii then click the search button.You might come up with something different than I did.Also you might want to speak with a lawyer before you speak to anyone else about your legal issue.You did not say which state your brother became deceased in,you just said you were from Hawaii.Just do an internet search,just like I told you above,just at the end of it put which state.So sorry to hear of your loved one's passing.Was glad to help you.

I have been blessed with having my parents still with me. My little cousins, however, are a different story. My paternal cousin's husband had killed her, and then he committed suicide. They left three young children all under the age of 10 at that time. Fortunately, they have an uncle (another cousin) and a grandma (my uncle's former wife) that are raising them. Of course, they will never know how much a biological parent can give to a child. Then again, I have heard horror stories of what biological parents do to their kids. Really, it's all about how the situation is. It could have been much worse, and the kids might have been split up and put out for adoption. The key is trying to make the best out of any situation. At least the kids were not involved.

I feel for you.  I have 7 sisters and 1 brother.  I don't know how old you are, but when we were teenagers, I just kind of went along my own merry way.  Being considerate is a big thing, I was, they weren't, so I had to work around things sometimes.  I woke up earlier so I could hit the shower before they woke up.  I played sports and did other things I enjoyed, without any of them.  If they wanted to participate, they were welcome to, but I didn't *try* to get them involved in my life.  Now that we're older, we all have different things we enjoy, but also can get together and enjoy each other's company in a way that a lot of siblings can't.  Hope this helps, and good luck.
