VerifiedHello my name is***** am a solicitor in NSW who will help with your inquiry today.
Can you tell me if your brother owned or part owned any real estate? If so, was the real estate held in Queensland? If so, I will have a better idea of which state to commence my searching in....thanks.
Okay when you write to them, refer to this section of the Succession Act 1981 - section 33Z. I've included the link to the section so you can see that you will probably be an "entitled person" under that section. Good luck, I hope you get your way. Has that helped today? If so, please rate my service highly.
