I never know that I was a beneficiary or hear anything about this until I was told by one of my mother's siblings that one of the siblings was buying out the other siblings. I received a check for $15,000.00 from an escrow agency, but never heard any more about it.
Sounds like one or more other beneficiaries are pulling a fast one on you. I highly recommend you seek the legal advice of an estate attorney and find out what's going on. I would not be surprised if you're being "swindled" (for lack of a more polite word) out of an amount that is significantly more than the $15K check you got.
