Washington State,
My mother got some inheritance, around $90,000
This was due to Her, my younger brother, and myself.
We took care of my grandmother for 6+ years.
She was intending to purchase a house for the 3 of us, as compensation for our work.
The years of work put stress on her and she was ill a lot and put my brother on her acccounts JTWROS in case something happened to her and bills needed to be paid.
She unexpectedly passed away this year, without a will, without buying a house.
Now that my brother has talked to a ATTY he refuses to share any of the money, and I believe is gearing to try and bill the remaining estate for money he used prior, for her utilities and funeral.
He contributed nothing into the accounts.
How hard is it to revoke a joint account? What kind of proof do you need?
Are there any cases I can look up for this state?
