Reader's question: Mr. Nguyen Van M, currently residing in the USA, asks: My family has four siblings: my older brother Nguyen Van B, my older sister Nguyen Thi N, my younger sister Nguyen Thi Th, and myself. Last month, my older brother Nguyen Van B passed away and leaving behind a savings account at Agribank with nearly 2 billion VND. When he passed away, he did not leave a will. My brother lived alone without a wife or children, and our parents passed away many years before him. Currently, my older sister Mrs. Nguyen Thi N wishes to inherit the entire amount left by my brother, arguing that my younger sister and I have been living abroad for many years and did not take care of him. However, my older sister has a gambling addiction, and I am concerned that she might squander the money my brother worked hard to save. In this situation, are my younger sister and I entitled to inherit any portion of the estate? And if my older sister refuses to share the inheritance, what option do we have?
