I live in TN and my father passed away about 5 months ago. He told me years ago that my brother and I were to inherit two houses when he passed. This is my half-brother and now he is sitting on everything. My EX step-mother was left executor of the will after they divorced about a year ago. Since he has passed I have had no contact with them whatsoever and I haven't seen a will. I am completely upset about all of this and really do not know what to do at this point.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
