Re: entrance to property Rights

You and your siblings have just as much right to your mother's property as the brother who was living with her. He would have to prove that the items were his (not your mother's) in order to keep them.

You and your siblings will want to seek the advice of an attorney to determine your rights as to the personal property AND the house.

Good luck to you.
