I am assuming that you were notified as to whether or not you were an heir to your Dad's estate? May I ask why you have not, for a decade, addressed this issue until now? I believe you are well beyond Statute of Limitations for any accusations of theft, fraud, et al. Do you know where the executor lives? Was the Executor handling a Will or a Trust? If a Will that is a public document as it moves through probate. Have you checked the local courts where the death is registered? You say "other brother took all Mom's dollars". I don't know what that means. How are you aware of the other brother taking all of Mom's dollars? IF he took all of Mom's dollars why would the Executor or Will figure in any of this at all? There wasn't any money, if it was all taken, right? Was the "other brother" the person who was caregiving Mom? I am afraid without more information you will find we have little advice. I would suggest you consider starting with looking up when the Will was filed for probate.
I think its a little late to do anything now. Its been 10 years for the one brother and 3 for the other. Something should have been done when u first found the fraud. If the older brother was not performing his duties as an Executor, you could have reported that to Probate and they may have assigned someone else. Actually, he had enough money to pay a lawyer to be Executor.
Because of other brother, u may have problems if Mom ever needs Medicaid. Maryland seems to have filial laws. Maybe you should consult a lawyer to see if brothers can be held responsible for Moms care. One because he has the money and the other because he stole her money. It will be a longshot but wouldn't hurt to find out.
