Question

Hi, My name is Steve. My dad died in march 2013 and on his will he made my brother executor of estate, will stated after estate settled the remainder would be split 50/50. My brother said my dad died a poor man and had nothing, how do I find out if he is being truthful.

Answer

You should receive a copy of the accounting. That should help, but it will only include the stuff which was listed within the Estate. Beyond that there is not any easy way to find assets. Anything in your father's name at his death should be included. Anything that was transferred prior to his death wont be included and that is where assets could disappear.
