What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
What preparation or responsibility does an Executor have when approaching older years. My half-brother (who I'll call "Bill") and I are 30 years apart in age and our relationship would be more like aquaintences but amicable. When our father passed away over 15 years ago, "Bill" was left as Executor, our late father's Will listed a farm and personal property to be divided equally amongst his (5) children (includes me and my younger brother from a second marriage). What should I anticipate could happen as "Bill" gets older and may no longer be able to act as Executor? What could this mean for me and my younger brother? What rights (if any) do we have in how the Will/Estate of our late father continues to be carried out? Do we have any legal options as to the farmland we share equally with our other older siblings? We live in different states and don't understand how the farmland/property left by our late father may be of better interst or benefit to us? Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful. Thank you.
