Inheritance distribution : division of inheritance

السؤال

Salam, Our family is in a crisis. My mother is hoarding all the inheritance that my late dad had left behind when he passed in Mar 2007. She claims all these belong to her, when clearly Surah Nisa mentions the rights of children. We have written a detailed paper outlining the situation. Her last statement to us was that we are entitled to our own interpretation of the Quran and she expects us to accept that it is ok to disagree. I know there is no Syariah court in the US, but I am seeking the help of Imams and Scholars to help resolve this crisis and thus remove the injustice. Kindly write us a letter / email, providing the Islamic stance on the division of Inheritance and the grave importance in adhering to it. Please include your Islamic credentials and position. Here are the details : widow / mom, 1st son : (myself), 2nd son : brother, deceased brother and deceased. There exists no will and my dad left a house, savings in a bank and 2 brokerage accounts. I am hoping to get few responses so that we can present to her again and hopefully she will stop doing wrong to her own soul and stop transgressing our limits. I thank you in advance. Salam, Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help Yours, Sam
