Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
Once father has died, if the property has to go through Probate (wills usually require Probate) he could try to make a claim on the property in the Probate Court, but he may not be successful.

Do I have to leave each child something when I do my estate planning?

No you do not. First, if you're over 65 and a child literally threw you out of the home you own, contact Adult Protective Services for your county. That's elder abuse. Second, you do not have to leave anything to your kids.

As you describe the situation,the estate did have assets. It had the $5,000 you and your sibling are disputing. You are not entitled to the assets of the estate without some action, perhaps as little as filing a small estate affidavit. As much as you do not want to consider it, your sibling is in the right until you take action to give you a legal right to some portion of the $5,000.
