Question Details: My father died in 1995.He was the sole owner of several companies and investments. My brother took-over the companies and became sole owner. The companies (corporations) are financially sound and profiting a million+ annually. My mother is still alive and was married to him when he died. We just found the Last Will and Testament, dated and notarized 17 days before his death. My mother, my children, my brothers children and myself were to be all given equal share, along with my brother.
You need to go in and talk to an attorney in person. If your father died in 1995, the property must have gone through probate if the Will was not found earlier. It happened 14 years ago. You need to go in and talk to a Estate Planning attorney who handles such matters. It is going to require going back in time and reversing the process which might have already taken place.

Are you a lawyer?
