distribution of assets

how long after a person dies must the beneficiaries get all that they are owed? Does the executor have all power because it has been more than 2 years since my grandmother died and my mother has not received all that she is owed and she is afraid to confront my uncle who is the executor.

Suspended license - Public Defender VS. Private Attorney

I was told by the DMV that they will

go ahead and issue me a restricted

license once they receive my SR-22

(2-3days). Three weeks later, I drove

to school thinking this whole time

that I was issued a restricted license,

that it was in their system, and that

I'm just waiting for it in the mail.

There was a sobriety checkpoint on

my way home and I got cited for

driving under a suspended license all

along.This whole time I thought I

was issued a restricted license weeks

ago.

I was cited with driving with a

suspended license due to a DUI,

breaking the probabtion (Got a DUI 3

months ago) and now I have to

appear at court.

I owe so much money that i dont

have enough income to hire a private

attorney. Can a public offender

reduce charges just as a private

attorney can? I don't want jail time,

Can a public defender reduce that

charge just as equal as a private

attorney can?

My question is: Will I be better off

with hiring a private attorney and be

in debt than appointing a public

defender? I dont want jail time, and I

qualify for a PD.
