What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
What can be done?
My mother passed 2 years ago in NY with no will, there is a medical malpractice settlement. My sister has not been in my mothers life in several years nor mine, has forged my mothers name on bank documents leading to my mothers bankruptcy, at the time of death my mother was going to family court to see her daughters children, and never once showed up to lawyers meeting/ depositions, is supposed to get half of her estate. Is there any way I can circumvent this? My mother many times to multiple family member made it known she cut my sister off financially about 9 years ago and she in turn cut my mother off from her children. I'm the other sibling/ executor of my mothers estate.
