What happens to the net settlement if the claimant is dead and the estate settled years ago?

If the claimant is deceased and the estate settlement occurred years ago, the net settlement would typically be distributed according to the terms outlined in the deceased claimant's will or through the laws of intestacy if there was no will. The net settlement would become part of the deceased claimant's estate and would be distributed to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries as per the established legal guidelines.


What happens if one brother does not want to settle the estate and it has been ongoing for five years?

The court appointed executor has the authority and the obligation to settle the estate. If the person who doesn't "want to settle the estate" is the court appointed executor you need to file a motion to have them removed and a successor appointed. If the estate hasn't been filed for probate then hire an attorney, file the will and request that you be appointed the executor. One person cannot stop the legal probating of an estate. That's why we have courts. If the person who has possession of the will won't hand it over for probate then petition to be appointed administrator of the estate and carry on as if there is no will. In that case the assets will be distributed according to the state laws of intestacy. In any case, get moving.

Nothing happens to the life estate. The life estate remains as long as the person who holds it is still living. Any sale is based on the existence of the life estate.
