What can I do to obtain a copy of my step-parents will to ensure their wishes have been carried out?
Full Question:
Our parents died and we are step children. I am trying to find the paperwork my step-brother filed because he will not give me or my sister a copy of it. The property was supposed to be sold and all of us except him given a portion of the proceeds because he was given 5 acres before my dad died for his share. How can I obtain these documents to see what he has done. I was supposed to be power of attorney with him and my dad left my step mother in debt so she took his name off the house and wrote down on paper my step brother and I were supposed to be in charge together but did not get it notarized. He will not tell us anything or give us any paperwork. What can I do?
