Without reading the will I would need to know exactly how it is stated. If you AND your brother are a full heir, then yes, you are considered as one. It is often done this way when one sibling is deceased. Rather than cutting out the deceased child's offspring, they get what the deceased person would have gotten. If the will reads you are a full heir and then your brother is a full heir, then you would be each considered a whole. The lawyer who is in charge of the will would know, and you should be able to ask.

You seem to be right. I have never heard of "full heir" but it seems it is just another word for heir. If you each got 1/8 of the estate then you will each get 1/8 of the house. If just you and your brother got the house then you do not have to share with them.

You are "full" heirs in the since that you take your late dad's share. but you and your brother and his sisters have to split it. so it goes per sterpes, in which the children of dead heirs are figured to recieve so many eighths in the house, based on how far down they are in the family line from the deceased. If you are concerned that you are being cheated, ask the executor, or hire an attorney. It sounds like you are just spliting it 8 ways. Like I say get a lawyer.

Both of you will own 50% each as you were named full heirs so it is an equal partnership.

I think that you are getting cheated. Make sure you talk it over with a lawyer and he or she can go over the will with a fine tooth comb. Your aunts and uncles are probably trying to think that you are dumb. What does it say in the will? Does it mention you specifically or are you getting your father's share? Thats where the difference is.

No I believe you are right. If it lists you all as equal then you get same split. Whoever is named as executor of the will shoudl see to that and if the executor is one claiming you are to split, then it mayu be in your best interest to see a lawyer. Some have free consults.

Sounds like you count and divide kby the number of "fulls" and divide
it equally by that number with no leftovers. I'm no legal-beagle, get a GOOD lawyer to straighten it out
