Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

As strange as this may sound, your father is under no obligation to leave you and your siblings anything at all.

However, I do not understand why your stepmother requires that you and your siblings sign a paper so that the motorcycle can be sold.

Without looking at the will, it may be that it is invalid. Or it may be that your stepmother has no idea what she is doing and has not sought legal help and has made no effort to probate the will.

I have no idea when your father died, what assets your father owned, how the assets were titled, what debts or claims there are or what the will says. Under these circumstances, and its up to you, but I suggest that you get a copy of the will as well as any court file and go see a probate attorney in the county/state where your father lived at the time of his death. Until then, I would not sign any paper as you do not know what you are signing or giving up.

Assuming the will is valid, your mother may be entitled to a family allowance as well as anything she might be entitled to under the will. Its up to her to request that. If she doesn't she may forfeit her rights. As you do not get along with her, I assume you do not want to tell her about her rights, but you need to know what she may be entitled to.

If the will is invalid or there is no will, then you, your siblings and your stepmother will share in any assets that remain after the debts are paid. Even if the is a will, it might be invalid and you may have to challenge it. Again, this is something you will have to discuss with the attorney.
