Q: brother died, siblings not notified and not notified of probate until it was over so not allowed to see or contest will
A: It is impossible to know that based upon the information provided in a web post. You will want to consult with an attorney to determine if it will be worth your while to re-open the Probate. Best of Luck! Jennifer
A:
You need to consult with a probate attorney in the county or area where your brother died to have the probate action reviewed to determine if you should have been notified as an heir. That is your first best step as the probate paperwork will lay out the basis for the probate that was done and will show or reveal, to an experienced probate attorney, whether it was done wrongly or not.
Good luck,
