property sold will states the profit should be divided between sibling


01-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
My brother has sold my mothers property for $199,400. The orginal Will states that upon her death it is to be sold and split between me and my brother. When my mother got older she put the hose in my brothers name incase something happened. My brother never gave me half of the sale of the home. My question is he still liable to give me half or is the Will void because my mom put it in his name ? we live in Kentucky

We would like to advise you that before giving our considered opinion we would like to see the title deeds and other connected documents. By which mode the property was transferred to your brother. Prima facie if the property has been transferred in your brothers name than he is not liable to give you any share.

As you stated that when will was done by your mother in name of you and your brother so the partition could be implemented only based on that will later if some news registered bill has been done in your brother's name in that case your brother will be considered the whole and sole owner of the property but if there is no such registered document then they will will be considered as final one and on Based of that will you can file a suit to get the share of the property
