Is it legal for my Mother's estate to be distributed by the executor of her will, prior to my Mother's death?
Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice.

How can we obtain a incident report of a traffic collision?
Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice. I hope your brother is doing well. You are able to request the police report from the agency that issued the report. It seems like your brother was not at fault for causing this accident, and hence, he will be entitled to compensation for his damages. You should retain a competent attorney to pursue your brother's claims. That attorney can obtain the police report, as well.
