What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
Dad got a lot of properties in the divorce from my mom. He remarried in 1996 and passed this past summer. My brother and I are now finding out his current wife will not grant his wish to give a small portion of what he earned during our childhood, ie, his IRA for $80K. How can we find out who the beneficiary is of this? There are currently 3 properties that were previously put in survivorship marital property, 2 of which dad purchased prior to his second marriage. What rights do my brother have as biological kids? Dad's wife has two kids from her previous marriage whom I imagine will inherit all of this. There was no will when dad died. This has to be happening everywhere with my generation.
