Just an update
Hey to anyone who reads this and knows the circus/trainwreck that is my life, lol.
My mom passed away on the 27th. She is at peace now, and that's all I can hold onto. My father, the eternal d-bag, made everything hell for everyone. At the calling hours he was ranting and running his mouth to anyone who would listen that he had 2 other life insurance policies on her that she didn't know about, so he was selling the house and moving to Virginia. Mostly everyone ignored him after that.
She wasn't even in the ground when he charged over to us after the service and demanded her personal belongings back that she had given to us. My older brother went OFF on him, and he ran away with his tail between his legs. The next day was my turn to go off on him after he tried to have my brother arrested, even though her will clearly stated her possesions were to be divided between her children. I can only hold onto the belief that one day he'll have to answer for the things he's done in his life, and by then it'll be too late. I have no father, my mother is gone.
It's been a few days of peace and quiet, and I hope that things settle down for good and get back to normal, well, about as normal as things are in my life. DH has been amazing, a genuine support and good friend through all of this, even the inlaws have been good.
Thanks again.
Re: Just an update
I am so sorry for your loss and how your father acted afterward.
It sounds like you and your brother are in agreement on how to deal with him and having support from a sibling is really a wonderful thing during times of loss.

At least your brother has your back.
Sorry for your loss.
Don't be afraid to call the police or a lawyer if you have any real trouble from your dad.
So sorry about your loss.
I too am glad that you have brothers to stand by you (and in front of you.) I hope things settle down for you soon. Take care.
