Legal Question in Product Liability in Washington
Division of estate with out a will
Both of my parents are deceased and unfortunately they did not leave a will. As a result my parent�s house and the land it is on was split equally between my brother and me. I am the only one who does all the maintenance on the house. (Electric bill, mowing of grass, property taxes, and security) Is there anything legal I can do to have the whole property signed over to me because I have been the sole caregiver for this property for over three years?

No. But you could sue your brother for half of the cost of maintenance including a reasonable rate for your labor.
