I was born in the Dominican Republic, but shortly afterwards my parents divorced. My father later remarried, and I went to live to Miami with my mother and two brothers.
Although I've tried to keep in touch with my father and brothers from his second marriage, we only talk when I go visit our hometown. He has a sussesful business in the DR, that he started with the selling of a plot of land that belonged to both he and my mother.
That was in the early 70's, before my parents divorced. My mother never saw a cent of that money, and she made no attempt to claim it. My questions is, what are the inheritance rights of my brothers and myself regarding my father, since he started his business with the sales of a family asset (the plot of land)? Where can I find information regarding that transaction? I have no idea where this plot of land was (I only know it was in santiago),and my father's name. The lawyer that handled the transaction passed away a while ago.
My interest in this matter is because my father second wife told I friend that she and my father have put all their assets in the name of their eldest son. Yet, when my mother tried to transfer a plot of land that she owns in santiago to me, her lawyer told her she could not do that because she'll be depriving my two brothers of their inheritance rights. I'll apreciate any information you can provide to help me.
