QUESTION
How can I get my monetary share of a home my father left to my brother, sister, and myself if my brother moved into the house with his family?

More details to this question:
The house is paid for. No mortgage payments. My father passed in 2008. My brother did some renovations on the house and moved in there in 2012 or so. I didn't know about this because I wasn't around. I need my monetary share of the house. If he wasn't living there we could be using this as a rental property that generates income for the three of us. How can I get my monetary share of the house or even a portion of it?

Either your brother agrees to buy you out or pay you rent. If he does not, you have to force the issue. If the estate is still open, it will be easier. If the estate is closed, you need to file a court action to remove him. Contact a local NY lawyer for the details.
