No will from my mom only my dads..
In North Dakota, if your mom passed away without a will, her estate will be distributed according to state intestacy laws. This typically prioritizes spouses and children. Your dad's will wouldn't appoint an executor for your mom's estate unless it specifically mentioned such provisions. Consider consulting a probate attorney for guidance on how to proceed. Is there a particular aspect of this you'd like more information on?
I am trying to upload my dads will
To upload your dad's will, you generally need to file it with the probate court. In North Dakota, this initiates the probate process. You may need to provide death certificates and other documentation. Do you need information on specific forms or the probate court process?

It sounds like you're trying to determine if your brother is legally appointed as the executor of your mom's estate based on your dad's will. Here are some general points:
- Your dad's will can only appoint an executor for his estate, not your mom's unless explicitly stated.
- If your mom passed without a will, North Dakota's intestacy laws apply, and her estate would be handled separately.
- It might be beneficial to consult a probate attorney to review the will and clarify your situation.
Would you like more information on probate attorneys or the probate process?
