Does the executor to a person's will have the legal authority to bury the person's remains without sibling consent?

Yes. The Executor has full authority regarding the estate of the deceased. I have seen a few cases myself where the executor cremated the body, took the ashes to a private location, and never told anyone of that location. Obviously, however, the siblings could attempt to fight this in court.

What rights do you have as a non-executor adult child of the decedent if the decedent's brother is executor?
The right to inherit has nothing to do with who was named executor. The right to inherit remains valid with all of the children. Consult a probate attorney that knows the laws for your state. ==Another Perspective== The court appointed executor has the obligation and authority to settle the estate. Only the executor has the power to manage the assets, transfer property, close accounts, sell real estate, etc. The executor must follow the provisions set forth in the will. However, all the powers of the office may be carried out according to the discretion of the executor without any interference by the beneficiaries. If the beneficiaries have questions concerning the executor's role they should first contact the attorney who is being paid to handle the estate.

Does a will have to be recorded to be probated?
A will must be filed with the probate court in order for the executor to be officially appointed by the court. When the will is filed for probate it is examined by the court for validity as to technical requirements. If it meets the technical requirements of state law the executor will be appointed. Until the will has been allowed and the executor appointed by the court, the executor named in the will has NO official power or authority. Once the will is filed it remains in the probate case file and becomes a public record.

Your brother is the Executor of our father's estate The law firm where his wife is a paralegal is handling the estate is this a conflict of interest?
No, as Executor it is your brothers responsibility to settle your fathers taxes, funeral expenses and taxes. He then needs to divide up the remains of the estate as set out in your father's will. If he needs help from a law firm to do this then the law firm will need to be paid (out of the estate) before the heirs inherit. As executor your brother can use any law firm he chooses to help him but as an heir it would be you right to ask to see your father will and the estate's accounts when you get paid out (assuming you are named as a heir in the will).
