You need direct these questions to the estate lawyer. if there is none, or you get no response, see a local NJ lawyer immediately. He or she can perhaps pull the case up from the court website and with your docments and what he or she sees, can advise you what steps to take.

Yes - you should be able to get your share and your brother living in New Jersey needs to make a distribution. you should contact the Surrogate's Office in the County in which your mother lived at the time of her death. Tell the clerk that your brother has not distributed the estate and ask for assistance. If your mother died in Monmouth or Ocean County, I would be able to assist you in getting your distribution. Good Luck !
