    property distribution among children

    ny husband are four brothers and six sisters. when their father died they transferred the property and legal rights to their mother. aftersome time mother sold the propoerty and distributed the amount equally amongst five persons (four sons and for herself). she purchased another property by giving her share to one of the sons. after the death of the mother, the son with whom she had her share sold the property without the consent of all the ten children. we are not aware whether any will was made by the mother to transfer the property to her one son including her share or sold the property and purchased in single name. now the property known where mother was stayiang with the son is sold and the entire amount is taken by thye son. what is the legal right of the other children.

    This is far too complicated to be answered by strangers on the internet. You need to consult an attorney who can legally check into and confirm all of this information.

    From her share the mother bought another ppty JOINTLY with a son (perhaps her favourite) and ppty reverted to the son when she died. Have you asked the son about her WILL because she may have had other assets like jewellery etc of value. What happened to that? 


    2. since her death is a taxable event, who is filing her last tax return?


    3. if the son does not answer how much he had contributed towards the ppty purchase, then something does not look right. If he was a partner with mom and contributed he has a legal right to the ppty upto his share.  Mom's share s/b according to the Will and in abcence of that, the govt. will step in. If that happens, anybody can make a claim against the ESTATE, and that is messy. 


    4. so get this brother to cooperate and divide the shares after paying taxes and filing tax returns .The best situation will be finding the WILL.


    get the proper status from the brother and come back. good luck!
