Denver, CO asked in Estate Planning for Colorado

Q: Mom passed 10 days prior to stepdad in PA. Why did everything go to his children? What can I do?

The estate was large. In addition to keeping over 5 million, my mothers tax document states that we received $ when we did not get a dime! Right after my step dad passed they sold my moms condo for 100,000 under market value so they wouldn't have to pay the pa estate tax.

My estranged brother, who is the oldest took on the excetior duties and refused communications with us siblings. After numerous requests, I just received a copy of her tax documents and they bare many untruths. How can I fight this?

A: You must get a probate attorney on your side. It appears the estate is in PA, and you need one there.
