Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Dakota
Mother's estate was misrepresented
Our brother named himself PR of our Moms estate, the rest of us four siblings trusted him...We have been ripped off! He kept property, sold property & kept the money. He got the business & inventory. His attorney had it written that we would receive no accounting of the estate. Can we protest?

Re: Mother's estate was misrepresented
You always have the right to challenge a distribution of a parent's estate if you have an interest in the proceeds of it.
Frequently, a decedent will include in their testamentary documents "no contest" clauses that will prevent you from challenging the distribution of assets.
It would depend on the language of the will/trust to determine what your rights are.
Contact my office if you'd like to schedule a consultation with myself or my law partner.
