Does anyone out there know anything about Montana probate and will laws?
My mother-in-law passed away on September 29, 2007. She left no will. For the last 3 years we have taken care of Mom. Now his brother, who has had little contact with her for the last few years wants it all. There is also a brother who is mentally handicapped and who we promised to take care of. Any serious help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

Here is the link to Montana Laws for Estates, Trusts, and Fiduciary Relationships: http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/mca_toc/72.htm
It has everything you need to get up to speed on what you need to do. However, it might help to get a lawyer to make the court filings. If you’re promising to take care of the mentally ill brother then there might be some free legal help available if he qualifies for disabilities.

If there is no will (intestate), most probate courts would divide the assets equally among the surviving heirs according to the jurisdiction's order of succession. If there is no surviving spouse and three children, after all estate taxes have been paid and any outstanding medical bills have been paid, the remaining assests would be divided equally between th three children.
