I live in Virginia and my father passed away without having a written will (well he had one, but it cannot be found) So anyways, when my father passed he was married to my mother and had been married for 13 years since his death. Well he had a previous marrige and in that marrige he had 2 sons. When he met my mom she already had 1 daughter and one son. So all togetherher thats 5 of us and my mom's daughter had a baby that is now 5 years old.
(right now our ages are: me-15, My dad's 2 sons 26 and 22 and my moms son and daughter 25 and 22)
Well my dad only saw his 2 real sons on their birthdays and holidays because the normally avoided him. But saw the rest of us pretty much daily
When my mom and dad got married, they bought a house together but put it completely in my fathers name because my mom was out of town during the signing of the papers for the house and planned on adding her name onto them later. (but she never added her name)
During the marrige my dad went out and bought a nice truck and a boat and put them both in his name as well.
My dad had liver cancer (he was an alcoholic) and he recently passed away this year.
Well my brothers (his 2 sons) went and got a lawyer to see what they can get (money wise) out of this whole situation and it turns out since they are from my fathers previous marrage or sumthin like that they get a total of 2 thirds of everything in my fathers name (both of them get one third each and my mom gets one third)
So they get 2thirds of the cost of the house truck and boat when they have never even stayed one night in this house or even been in the truck or even seen the boat. I have lived with my father my entire life and I dont get anything? (It might be a bit more understandable if my moms other children with different dads dont get anything, but he was my dad just as much as he is his other 2 sons)
My mom has a lawyer but he says the best thing to do is give them the money wich is over $50,000 a piece.
I dont think this is right and neither does my mom. Is there anything else we can do?
