Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

You may have to sue your brother for breach of fiuciary duty to your mother. What is he offering you, if anything?

You certainly have a cause of action against your brother. Proofs in these cases are sometimes difficult and the litigation tends to be expensive. However, if you are willing to fight the battle, you should be able to prevail.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney who is experienced in estate litigation for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck!

First, you should immediately retain a good estate/probate attorney.The attorney can then help you deal with your brother. Unfortunately, if this becomes a lawsuit, it will definitely hurt any family relationship. Therefore, a conciliatory approach should be the first step.

I hope this helps!
