What will happen if my brother and I are executors and beneficiaries to our mother's estate but step-father is still alive?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
The terms of your mother's will determine you and your brother's rights, obligations, and duties with regard to settling her estate and the division of her property. If your mother is still mentally capable of doing so, it is a good idea to talk to her about these issues now while she is still alive. The division of her personal property in the home is something that she could do while living, and it would be up to her to include or exclude her husband from the process. It sounds as though your mother is quite ill, so this may not be possible. If you have a copy of your mother's will, it may be a good idea to take it to a local attorney who is knowledgeable about probate law to discuss your concerns.

You can set up multiple living trusts to hold different properties. You should retain counsel to do this as there are some things that you will need to do with each of the trusts.

You need to hire a lawyer to sift through all the facts you have presented in order to figure out whether or not you have a actionable compaint.  The longer you wait the harder it will be, if possible at all, to unwind anything.  Again hire a lawyer.
