I suggest you get a copy of that Will (you are entitled as a heir) and also, I do believe the lawyer would have had to talk to both of you and explain the situation of the Will. It can take a year or more to Probate a Will. A Probate means that all debts are paid off to creditors; all property taxes and personal taxes are paid before the monies or properties of the deceased are released. So, perhaps your brother is utilizing this property to gain more money in that year which is good for both of you. I am hoping this is a legal business. Also, if you are a minor and your brother isn't he could be conducting the business to help make more money that should go back into the Estate and be divided equally between the two of you. You still have a right to see the Will and if you are a minor then you have to see how your parents put it in the Will as to when you 1/2 of the property or any monies is released to you (probably legal age.) If you don't like something your brother is doing (executive or not) you can seek legal counsel and you do have the right to deny a business being run on the rental property. If you have not accepted any money from this rental property/business and the money has not gone back into the Estate it's called stealing. Look after your legal rights. If you don't know how to go about this then either talk to a good friend who may know of a good lawyer. Be careful! Ask what their fee is first and do a little shopping around.
No
Yes, the executor has that ability. They are responsible for the property, including who has the use of it. They have to maintain the property and pay taxes and keep it in repair.
If boyfriend and girlfriend both paid for property and are both the legal owners then the girlfriend would own the property. If not then the property will go to boyfriends next of kin (closest living blood relative).
There is no executor until one is appointed by the probate court. You need to petition the court that appointed your oldest brother as executor and request he be removed and a successor appointed. Then, the estate should be settled and the property distributed as provided in the will.
The executor does not have that power. Their job is to execute the will as written.
Your brother already has enough going on. The duties of being executor would be too much. Someone else in the family should petition to be appointed executor and your brother should decline.
There is no requirement for her to do so. As long as she is the executor, and presumably the beneficiary, it is her business, not his.
Yes. As long as the brother and the mother agree to it, it is no one else's business.
The executor can file a resignation with the court and you would petition for appointment as the successor.
If your brother is executor of the estate, yes.
Yes, until the estate is settled and the distribution has been made according to the terms of the will the executor is responsible for collecting and protecting the assets of the deceased. They may feel the need to keep others from removing property prior to distribution.
ohh as i , i leave them
