^^^more like you find out who your real friends are when money is involved. Siblings don't always suck, but they can more than you think.
Sorry about your mom.

I suggest whatever attorney you do decide upon, make sure they are close to
the Court where your mother lived. You don't want an attorney that has to travel
or refer the case to someone else when the time comes to appear in Court and file
legal motions.
IF your mother had a Living Will/Trust then Probate Court doesn't apply to your situation.
I had an idiot sister who tried to get control of our mother's estate by filing a suit with probate Court.
The Judge nearly laughed at my former sister when he found out there was a Living Will and the estate was in a Trust. He point blank told her "You can waste money filing more legal motions, but it is pointless".

That's what divides the family....it's like those celebrities whose family wants a cut of the fortune but never did enough when they were around. Sad for this to happen to you. Prayers and condolences to you. I hope for the best outcome for you.

So sorry to hear that.
suxeR is spot on they need to be local to where you mother lived or be willing to travel.
Been involved in a situation where the attorney for the "good" sibling has needed to tried to appear via "phone" and the other side has pretty much pissed away all of the estates assets with little protection from the court.
Good luck

Sorry for your loss and I am sad to say that the situation you find yourself in with your relatives is often the rule rather than the exception. Good Luck!

Sorry for your loss. If there is a house involved change the locks, and only go into the house with a neutral party. Video tape every thing in the house, and get it valued. Never forget attorneys make money by prolonging a settlement. Get it done as soon as you can. You can keep money back to pay the final bills. If you can save the relationship with your family, do that, it means more than money long term. All that being said, family shit is the worst shit. Good luck.

Thank you everyone for the condolences and the personal referrals.
Its nice to know that I have a community of people who care.
This whole thing is horrible and I find myself wondering:
Am I really related to these people that are acting like this.
We were all three raised in the same home and I'm so different then them.
I have a hard time believing that all three of us came out of the same vagina.
Speaking of, I'm in Canoga Park.
Thank you again to all of those that PM'd, text'd and responded to this blog.

Fingers crossed for you!
Hang in there.

sorry for loss...always brutal
keep communications honest and open with everyone in family...be the giver(above and beyond) and hope most others in the family go the same route following your lead.
i have a close buddy that went thru this a few years ago and does not talk with his brother anymore? fucking dumbfounding.
probate sucks and very expensive...are you sure this needs to go thru that?

My condolences.
I suggest you research probate law, so that you are knowledgeable of terms and procedure, and that you don't get blindsided or hoodwinked, by siblings or attorneys. You have a say in this matter, unless your mom left an iron clad will.
If your mother was a resident of California I suggest you purchase a copy of " How to Probate An Estate". By Nolo Press. Not that you will actually probate he estate yourself, but to become knowledgeable. California Law is very specific, as to fees given to Attorneys, Executors and Administrators.
If your mother had no will, the probate is relative simple, as all her children split the estate equally among them. This may not be fair, but it's the law. (Happened to me).
Be informed.. Good luck in finding an honest attorney, sorry, my guy is now retired.

I am sorry you are having to deal with that. My mom died last year and I was lucky we all knew my mom wanted whatever was there split evenly. Nothing worse than dealing with grief and then greed on top of it. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry for your loss sweetie. My mom passed away when I was only 17 years old. I know what you're going through & how you are feeling. If you were as close to your mom as I was to mine, this by far will be the hardest thing you'll ever have to go through in your entire life. The loss is so massive & the pain is brutal, almost unbearable at times. And the LAST thing you need at a time like this is a selfish, self righteous sibling behaving like a spoiled pile with huge entitlement issues. I'm sorry you have to deal with that bullshit.
If you ever want to talk about it or just want some company, please feel free to call or text me anytime... Day or night! It helps when you have support from others who have experienced what you're going through. Here's my number... 949-903-3992

My mom taught me everything, except how to live without her.

Yes. It's tough but you can cherish the memories forever. At a point you will move on with a deeper appreciation of life
