Q: What can I do?
Both of my parents passed away last yr and they had no will. My youngest brother was appointed the administrator over there estate. I’m the oldest of 3 kids. My youngest brother will not communicate with me I have no idea about anything that is going on. There is a estate lawyer over my parents estate. But no one will tell me anything.
A: Probate court files are public records. You can walk into the court and ask to look at the file and make copies. Or you can hire a lawyer to review the file for you and give you advice about things you can do to obtain information.
