This is all amazing advice. Though, I do have the letter which says everything goes to "special sister" AND ME...but my name was crossed out and replaced with another sister (so visibly clear, it's hysterical). Again, no will. Granted, all of his legal money (accounts/IRAs) just list her as...
Let's say, for simplicity, she was named beneficiary for everything (because you can't put SEVEN people on a document (but you intended fairness)...Can we contest these policies? Is it worth it? She's coming after me for the $40K or so I owed him - can I hit back?
Maybe a few hundred thousand in IRA/Annuity/Life Insurance. Not a fortune, but she already took the car, al the cash in the house, the material possessions, etc. etc. etc. He was a renter, so no home.
My brother died. Has no spouse and no children. There are SEVEN surviving siblings, but ONE wants all his goods. She manipulated my brother into penning a letter he left in a security deposit box saying "You can have it all, Special Sister"...but he has no will. What are our rights?
