[WSBAPT] what an heir is entitled to

[Jenna Brozik]

Here is the scenario:

Grandma, daughter A, and son, have LLC in which they own several properties
and collect rental income.  Grandma has another daughter B that has passed
away.

Grandma owns her own house, separate from the LLC.

Grandma dies, no will.  Son and daughter continue to run LLC on their own.
Probate is opened a couple months after death of grandma.  Probate has been
open for six years and has not closed.

Son and daughter A pay for significant repairs and improvements for the
properties out of the LLC profits over the past six years.

Daughter B has a daughter (let's say her name is Beth) who is entitled to
her deceased mother's share.  She inherits a 1/3 of the estate, as well as
the son inherits a 1/3 and the daughter A inherits a 1/3.

Son and daughter rent out grandma's house and do not pay off mortgage of
the house.  Son and daughter pay the mortgage from grandma's house from LLC
account and deposit rent into LLC account, not estate account.  Son and
daughter rent out grandma's house to a family member way below market
value.

If Beth inherits her share of the properties in the LLC at the value from
the date of death six years ago, she gets cheated out of the improvements
and the increase of value in those properties.

Son and daughter A want to continue to run LLC and own the properties in
the LLC.  Son and daughter A want to keep grandma's house and continue to
rent to the family member. Beth just wants out and her share.

Does any one have suggestions as to how Beth can inherit her fair share?
Thanks in advance,
