Re: Dividing inheritance
It depends what you mean by "putting all assets of father into his name." Did the father consent? Were these gifts, compensation for services or transfers made under duress? There are too many unanswered questions in your scenario to give you an answer. Was there a will? Was a probate filed? There are more questions. You should consider hiring an attorney to sort this out.
Re: Dividing inheritance
Why did this happen?Was this done because of some agreement that this sibling would hold these assets and divide the equally upon your fathers death?It depends on the exact facts but it sounds like you would have to sue your sibling to get your share of the inheritance.Send me a response or call me so I can better understand the facts.
