Legal advice: 'My parents left me money in their will but my brother never told me. Can I sue him?'

"Inheriting property or assets can be a complicated matter, especially if there are multiple heirs involved and if a will has not been communicated properly. In this case, the individual didn't learn about the will or her share for forty years, which raises several legal and ethical questions about the responsibilities of the executor and how the family was informed, or not informed, about the will's contents."

"There are a few options available for individuals in similar situations, including legally contesting the will if you believe that you were wrongfully omitted or if there were irregularities. It's essential to seek legal guidance to understand your rights and the statute of limitations for contesting a will, as some jurisdictions have strict timelines that could affect your ability to make a claim."
