This document is included in estate records for Lincoln County, North Carolina, but I'm puzzled about how best to describe this particular record. I'm wanting to cite it for Henry's death date and the name of his sister. Here is the direct link, but I've opted to use waypoints for the citation.

The document is a "complaint" filed by the administrator of Brevard's estate in his suit against other heirs. It would typically be cited as

Note that this may be a "friendly" suit of the type required by a court to sell or divide property, especially since there are minor heirs for which a guardian ad litem must be appointed.
Citation wise, note that since it is a six-page document, we would cite all six images. The rest of your citation works quite well.

Matthew, EE would omit the words "estate records." It's a Superior Court case. To my knowledge (and someone with more expertise than I in Lincoln County records will correct me if I'm wrong), the Superior Court of Lincoln County in that time frame did not have a separate "estate" division. Whatever the cause of the dispute, in most times and places, they were all part of a consolidated group of records.
I suspect you're wanting to record the idea that this is a dispute involving an estate, but that fact is conveyed in the title of the case "R. L. McCorkle, ADMINISTRATOR of Henry Brevard, DECEASED ..."
