Probate/intestate
My mother died 2 1/2 years ago without a will. She had a bank acct, and a 401(k); and some unpaid wages. There are two heirs, and my sibling is willing to sign his rights over to me so that I can claim the money. I don't think that she had a lot of debt. She sold the house to my sibling; credit card debt would be very minimal; had health insurance that paid for the cancer treatment and such prior to her death. What is my best bet? I don't even know where to start.
