Half brothers robbed me

[Noel-no1]

My 3 half brothers were executors of my stepfathers estate. His will was very specific as to how the estate should be divided, leaving one quarter of his estate to be shared between his 3 stepchildren, myself, brother & sister & the remainder to be divided between my half brothers. Since his death, they have refused to communicate with us & I have just found out they have split the money between themselves.
Surely this is illegal?

first of all = I have to say people havent been very clear - first of al you need the will
this will (ha!) have been probated and so you can (after probate) get a copy from the Probate court which granted it. This is the local probate ct to where the fella died
You need the will to do anything
and then you can act

You can do a search - when I did one it cost about £10
you need the name and the approx date of death

If you go to CAB and tell your story they will advise you and they have solicitors that help for a minimal sum.
