I took care of my mother. My brother and I were criticized and accused of anything and everything. All nonsense. I, too, have Alzheimer's. I am my mothers's executor, however my wealthy side of the family is contesting that. Do you have any other atrocities that you are aware of that we face? I would like help, thank you.
I truly miss my mother and I am depressed, however I am not going to have them accuse me of anything and everything. So far Probate has it. She had a will however she made mistakes and it most likely will be set aside. My family are wealthy, I and my brother are not wealthy people. She passed away almost 9 months ago. Thank You.
Go to a Trust and Estate Attorney with your own diagnosis, with the papers appointing you executor and find out firstly how to get a co-executor or acting Fiduciary appointed to help you work out the distribution of the estate. There will be a fee for this. As long as there is some wealth there it pays to get this done legally and correctly by an attorney.
Best out to you. Remember, you do not have to act as executor. You can resign this position and ask that another be appointed to the job. That may be your brother if he is trusted. Or you can hire an attorney to do the work.
How does this relate to what you've posted? Not able to make sense of what you've written. Can you please clarify if you're asking a question or offering advice? If you're offering advice you should move this to the Discussions section. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother and the current distress you are having.
If Dinashop77 is also in Alabama, a similar quick internet search indicates that if there is no valid will, the deceased’s children should inherit (assuming no surviving spouse).
