Your question doesn't make any sense and doesn't contain a well-articulated question. What exactly is it that you'd like to know?

Re: Declaring mother deceased 20 years?

It is difficult to understand exactly what you are seeking by your statement but we will try to assume your point.

Our interpretation is this: "After" over 20 years "our family of" American Indians are looking "into the inheritance of our" mother who became deceased" in 1991. "These were" adoptive parents "and we are having problems with their" Will (or the resulting inheritance) "after the recent passing of one of our" brother. "The Mother" still have 3 living children. However, a sister "states that if (the mother or any sibling) is" declared dead, this "inheritance" belongs to her.

First of all, if you are asking if this natural or adoptive sibling or relative can override an official Will declared by another deceased party; on his/her own will, the answer is no.

Secondly, if you are asking whether or not you will have legal redress or recourse if the official Will is amended, revised or altered by this sister. And, you are one of the adopted siblings adversely affected by this altering, the answer is yes.

And, if you are asking if any adoption issues will affect the outcome of any legal redress, the answer is no.

I hope this helps.

However, please understand that this response is only provided based on our interpretation of your question or statement. It could be incorrect.
