Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

As Executor of an estate, you will receive "Letters of Appointment" which is signed by the judge and which informs others, including banks, that you have the authority to collect the assets of the estate, pay all owing debts and taxes, and distribute the remains to the heirs. The bank should accept that document in place of the death certificate.

If my father passed away in one state and I live in another and he had no property of assets, what do I do as his legal executor?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
He passed away in California, California law will control. In Texas you would have a problem. Why did you think you were his legal executor if there was no will or probate proceeding appointing you? While people do start collecting the assets of the deceased right away (frequently to pay final expenses), until appointed, you do not have the right to do so. Taking the assets may be theft. You may need to get all of your receipts together to demonstrate where the money went. You will have a problem since you found cash in the hoard. You will not be able to prove the amount you found. Your step siblings may always hold out that it was more than it really was.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Easiest and cheapest way is to sign an Assignment of your interest in your mother's estate to your brother. Presumably, his lawyer will be happy to draft that, and it won't cost you or him anything.
