My brother in law filed a wrongful death suit on my sister.If he dies,is it over or can another member of her family take over.

If your brother does not live to complete the case, another representative of the estate will be appointed. Usually a "suggestion of death" or a similar pleading is filed notifying the court of the death of the personal representative or administrator and time will be given to appoint a new one.

Oftentimes the question does not include significant and important facts and timelines that, if known, could significantly change the reply and make it unsuitable. Mr. Lundeen strongly advises the questioner to confer with an attorney in your state in order to ensure proper advice is received.

I am assuming that your deceased sister was single and had no children when she died. Under that assumption, is something would happen to your brother, you or another family member would then take over as the representative of her estate. Good luck.

Your family has an attorney I bet. You should ask your attorney questions about your case. That is why you hired your attorney.
