I lost my mother a year ago. We haven't done a succession yet. He started seeing someone who he is now marrying in a couple of months. My parents have a house and two businesses. I want to know what I need to do to protect myself and my brother with our moms share. Thanks

The assets acquired during marriage are community property. At your mother's death, you and your brother inherited one-half of the assets.
Your father has the usufruct (use) of the assets you inherited, but that usufruct will terminate if he re-marries.
