So my family has decided 2 sell my deceased brothers house & my mom hates my dad & refuses 2 talk 2 him at all! They both want the house (I thought) for the rest of us kids so I suggested that they sign it over 2 us kids 2 have it & my dad's ok with it (im pretty sure) & my mom refuses? She said that my brother's possessions were 2 be given 2 us kids 2 decide who wants what but when I talked 2 her earlier she was already basically telling me what she wants & what my older brothers wants/is getting! And then she said u guys devide up the possessions but I'm not signing over the house 2 N E 1. When I try 2 talk 2 her about this stuff its like she is 2 busy & something 2 do that she has 2 get off the phone or so on & so forth? What do i do, this shouldnt be about materialistic things my brother just died for goodness sake!!!

I'm sorry for your loss. Didn't you write about this just yesterday or the day before?
Is there a will? If not, unless your parents are on the mortgage with him, and he's wasn't married, I don't think either of your parents' get the final say.
If there was a will, it would have to go to probate. In the absence of a will, it would most likely have to be divided equally among surviving immediate relatives.
Were it me, and I felt like aliendating a lot of people, I'd get a free consultation with an attorney to find out what status you have in the matter.
Personally, I'd let the rest of them make themselves look bad, and mourn the loss of my brother.

I don't mean to be cruel but, is your brothers grave cool yet? for Petes sake what's wrong with you people, you to Pal, I see you in there grubbing. You know you can go down to the court and file for a claim against the property, then it'll go into probate and no body will get anything without the courts approval. Tell your mom this.
Anyone that wants a piece of the action will have to prove it. The court will decide who gets what, case closed.

was there a will left saying who gets what and why and also i think both estates have to go through probate if no will was left by your deceased brother then the estate has to go through proper channels before relased to anyone
