Re: sibling estrangement
There is no such legal process. You have no obligation to have any kind of relationship with a sibling if you don't want to. Of course, you may become joint owners of property inherited from a parent. In this situation, you would have to come to some agreement to sell the property or one buy out the other if you don't want such a relationship.
