well talk with your family and if there is going to be a time for that sort of thing i would mention that you would like to have some things but be personal and respectful not greedy because its hard for parents to lose a child i have heard.good luck and many prayers to you and your family.

I am very sorry for your loss...I would say that you have some say to an extent. I'd say the best thing you can do, is just let your parents know what your feelings and wishes for your brothers belongings are, and let them know that you feel very strongly about what happens to them, and being that this is a very awful tragedy that has just occurred, chances are they will feel the same way you do.

I'm sorry, my brother was killed in an auto accident in Co. also. Unfortunately. as much as you hurt and want to help, your parents have all the legal rights to make the decisions on your brothers estate. Contact your parents and ask to be involved in parts of the decision process to help you heal from your grief, Remember you are not the only one feeling bad, think of your parents and the rest of the family, if any.

Was he married? Did he have children? If he died without a will his estate, if any, would go to them--his wife first and then the children. If he had neither, I believe it would go to his parents. If his parents are dead, then to his brothers and sisters, if any.
I'm not a lawyer so, if you want real advice about your state laws, I'd contact an attorney and ask him.

Umm. Sorry for your loss but I believe in the absence of any will, (different if is an old one around) I think any estate goes to the government. (probate) If there is any thing left after, then the family (next of kin) is entitled.

If there was no will I would say no you do not have a say so It would be up to the parents.
It depends on what things he has of value you could hire an attorney depends on what he left behind.
laws differ from state to stateyou would have to look it up in the statutes of the state you live in.

Im Sorry about your Brother.
Legally you wouldn't ave anything because it would all go to your parents if they are still around if not it would be shared amongst his siblings.
I would discuss it with your parents them might be able to help.

Only if they let you. Why not give your thoughts and try to get your input made before anything is given away. They will probably listen to you if you are reasonable and if you haven't already been a pest about this issue.

No. Speak to your parents. If there is something you want as a keepsake tell them. Sorry about your brother tho.

If he has a will it has the ultimate say. Then a surviving spouse (if there was one) After that the parents. Then siblings and friends.
