I assume there wasn't a will, so that leaves an estate.

The answer is probably no. I am currently going through this right now.

However, it doesn't sound like this is worth anything. Most estate lawyers won't even look in your general direction unless the estate is worth at least 500k.

Call a lawyer who does free consultations. Just ask, "My brother didn't have a will, who takes precedence over his belongings?" Assuming he had no GF/Partner/Wife, it's probably the parents.

Aside from just asking this question, there isn't much you can probably do without lawyering up. People dying turns families to shit. One of our cousins was able to get 100grand out of the estate before anyone could intercede, but that money is long gone and there's essentially no consequences to his actions.

offer to buy a gun from him on your property, them shoot him because you think he's trespassing and take the rest

Oh, right, if the answer is no, and your parents are the ones who control the estate, and he took those items without their permission? That's probably a misdemeanor or felony, since those belongings legally belong to them. You would have to get your parents to want to get the cops involved to get that shit back, and that's probably unlikely unless your brother is a real shit-dick that no one likes.

There's a specific order of inheritance defined by law if someone dies intestate (that is, without a will). A dead man's possessions pass to his parents if he has no spouse or children. Only if the parents are dead do the siblings have direct claim.

Whoever inherits can do whatever they want with the stuff.

If your mother was your dead bro's heir, then you have no claim to the guns but through her. If she let your older brother have all the guns, then that's the end of it.

it's rough. I just looked up the states laws and his daughter should get everything (divorced). he was very frugal and private but he worked in the middle east for several years and I'm pretty sure he made a couple million.

he's not a total shit-dick, just very inconsiderate.

Then why aren't you talking with a lawyer?

Why are you talking to /k/? There has to be an estate lawyer involved. Find out who it is and start complaining.

he has a daughter and she gets everything, which I am glad for. how could a lawyer help me?

>is this even legal?
If he didn't have a will that specifically itemized everything, it's in a grey area for all non-monetary assets (cash in bank accounts, investments). Technically illegal, basically impossible to prove one way or the other, even if you literally had him on 1080P surveillance from 9 angles doing it with a sworn statement from him nobody would prosecute.

What happens is an estate is formed. Traditionally, estates without a will are settled in an order of priority, with 100% of all of everything going in this order:
>any unpaid governmental debt (taxes, fines, etc)
>funerary expenses
>current spouse
>current minor child (even split across multiple children)
If those don't exist or if a minor child doesn't have an adult representative file for it, then it goes like this
>ex spouse gets [percentage deemed by court based on years married vs. total years to accumulate wealth] assuming no binding prenup and no-fault divorce
>adult children get remainder
>if no adult children, living parents get remainder
>if no blood relatives come forward to claim it, seized by state

The lawyer has to explore the assets of the estate and determine what sort of accounts he might or might not have, investments, bonds, everything. Who the shit goes to is just part of their job. Your brother might have a Raymond James account that no one knows about for instance.
