"'Mam's will left everything to the four of us equally but our brother says he has more right to the farm - and he's the executor. He moved in to the family house and won't move out'."
"We were all close to Mam and to the home place, and in her later years, we really pulled together to keep her at home for as long as we could. Between us, we covered everything from housework, cooking, bringing her to the doctor, and sitting with her in the evenings."
A mother died leaving her estate to four children in equal shares. One sibling, appointed executor, asserts a greater right to the family farm and has moved into the family house without leaving. The siblings jointly provided substantial care for the mother in her later years, handling household tasks, medical appointments, and companionship. The executor's occupation of the property and claim of superior entitlement has created stress, division, and uncertainty among the siblings about possession, inheritance rights, and the administration of the estate.
