What is the name of your state?MInnesota
My father has named my half brother as the executor of his estate. There are 8 siblings and i know for a fact that the estate is supposed to be divided among the children. My brothe does not like about half of us and has said that he is in controll of the estate and will do whatever he pleases meaning good luck in trying to get what we are entitled to. he is refusing to coooperate and seems to think he can divide up the estate anyway he pleases even if that means not giving us what our father left us. Can he do that? He lives in washington state as did my father. Do we as my fathers biological children have more of a claim to his estate than my half brother who is not my fathers child and was never adopted by him either?
