What is the name of your state (WA)?
My father passed away almost 2 years ago as a resident of the state of Washington. His will stated everything was to be divided equally between his 3 childen. My brother who lives in California acted as personal representative.
I recently learned that there were assets in the estate my brother did not file any claims for such as a CD in a bank and a small pension which continues after my fathers death. I would like to receive my share of this money, however, when I call my brother, he does not return my calls. The bank has told me I need to be the personal represntative to have access to this money but I do not feel it is worth incurring more in legal fees that the amount of the inheritance to claim this money. Any ideas how I can either force my brother to act or get this money without going through the court system?
