What is the name of your state? guam
my dad is an american and he died in guam. we are 3 children in the family,all residing in the philippines. i am the eldest son followed by 2 sisters. when my dad passed away last january 2,2007 my 2nd sister was able to go to guam to attend the funeral rights. when she got back i have learned from some of my friends in guam that my dad has a last will and testament.when my sister got back to the philippines i asked her what is going on and if my dad has left us something, she said there is none, there is no will and testament. but i have learned from a distant relative who lives in guam too that my sister took care of everything with regard to my father's last will and testament. Now recently i have learned that my dad's estate/property is in probate and is handled by a certain law office in guam. I am denied information about all of this and even minute info like how the funeral went or she even declined to show me the pictures of my father's funeral, considering that i have all the right since i am a son. what can i do to obtain the information that i need and is it possible that they put my father's estate /properties in probate without even notifying me? there were no documents showed to me, nothing..even the developments on the case were denied to me by my sisters. what is the usual procedure for heirs say brothers and sisters ? are they supposed to come up with an agreement or any one can just do whatever they want to do without informing the other? pls help im at a loss. thanks
