Leah Howard, a resident of Lenexa, Kansas, was devastated to learn from police detectives that her brother had taken their mother’s life. As she navigated the difficult process of settling her mother’s affairs, she encountered challenges due to her brother being listed as the beneficiary of most of her mother’s assets.

Dealing with both the loss of her mother and the legal battles that ensued took a toll on Leah, but she found comfort and strength in the support of her loved ones. Facing a lengthy legal battle that could take a year or more, Leah remains determined to fight for what is right and to honor her mother’s memory. She hopes that sharing her story will shed light on the challenges faced by families in similar situations and that it will help bring about change in the legal system.
