Please share more about your circumstances.
My mother died in January without a will and my brother has taken over everything without contacting me or his brothers regarding her estate and now everything is in his name
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Nevada, there are specific laws related to intestate succession (when someone dies without a will). Here are some key points:
- If there's no surviving spouse, children inherit everything.
- If there's a surviving spouse and children, they share the inheritance.
It's important to seek legal advice to ensure a fair distribution of your mother's estate.
