They commited suicide while the police tried to arrest them. Do I just move on to inheritance or is there going to be some bs involved?

What the heck are you talking about?

They commited suicide as the police tried to arrest them for drugs. I am in line to inherit. Are the police going to be a problem?

Why would the police be a problem with your inheritance? Unless you are "inheriting" your brothers drug cartel?

Edit to add: There actually MAY be problems if the items you are to inherit were paid for with drug money....

I am sure others will post to this matter.

I don't know if they will try to seize his house or whatever? gezz. Drug laws are so hitler I didn't know what to expect.

He didn't deal drugs. Just used...

Did your sibling have a legal will? Has probate been opened? The executor of the will is the individual responsible for managing your siblings estate -- including defending the estate from seizure.

You may wish to consult a probate attorney. Theer are always issues involved in cases where there is no will ... there could be creditors or other family members that will show up, etc. Even WITH a will, probate generally has to occur.

Yup. Assets which can be shown to be the result of drug sales may be seizable by the authorities.

Any assets that may be subject to probate would be distributed, through probate. You have not stated if he had children, joint assets accounts with a wife or girlfriend, etc.

This is a nifty NC intestate "calculator":

How many people are you talking about? Or do you mean "He committed suicide while the police tried to arrest him"?
