How do I get the executor of a Will to give me my inheritance?
Approximately 5 years ago my mom passed away and my brother became the executor of my her Will. She had money set aside for all the children and it was evenly divided between the 3 children. Since I was under the age of 25, he was considered to be the money holder and was to distribute the money to me as needed. Now that I am over the age of what the Will states, the money was supposed to be transferred to me but my brother does not want to give it to me. I turned 26 last January yet I have not gotten what I am entitled to. He continues to use tons of excuses as to why he has not given it to me. At this point I don’t know what needs to be done. Can you give me advice on this situation?

Was there a probate estate opened in which the will and her assets were probated? Or did your mother have a trust set up? It is difficult to answer your question without knowing more details. If you would like to contact me and provide me more information, I would be happy to assist you. You can contact me at: www.socrateslegal.com
