Hello,
I am looking for some legal advise regarding our situation. We are three brothers and all are married, recently our father died naturally and he left a will where my mother is the executioner. When we casually enquired about the will, our mother mentioned that property will be equally divided among three of us. Out of all the three brothers one is emotionally close to my mother and she gave the GPA to him to sort out other court cases.
Earlier when I asked my mother about will, I was told that it was submitted in the court and court will send the copies. Recently I found out that, my brother who has the GPA had filed the petition in the court by saying he has the GPA and he is submitting the will as a GPA on behalf of our mother to the court with inventory and he will be the executioner of the will, this thing was not known to anyone. Even the inventory submitted was not in full.
Our confusion is that the brother who has the GPA has bad track record in the past especially regarding finances such as abusing the resources etc. Even our mother knows about it but she never told us that he submitted the will to the court on behalf of her or she might not even know about it as she simply signing the papers and not letting anyone to read or enquire.
In this situation we are worried that is there anything that the brother who has the GPA can misuse his power and change the things in the will or execute the will at his will and wish even without notifying our mother. If yes, then what are our options? We did not yet received any copy of will so we really do not know what is in the will.
I request legal experts to provide guidance in this situation, if required we are willing to hire the services of a lawyer.
Thanks in advance.
