How do other siblings contest if your Mother left no will and one sibling appointed himself as administrator of her estate?
A sibling cannot appoint himself the administrator of an estate. Only the probate court can make that appointment. He needs to petition the court to be appointed and if you have objections you can submit them to the court. There will be a hearing and the court will review your objections. Another sibling could request appointment and the heirs could voice their approval of that other sibling as administrator. The court will render a decision after considering the testimony and appoint the administrator. Only a court appointed administrator has legal authority to settle the estate. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can review your situation and explain your options.
What to do when all assets stolen by sibling before estate probated?
