Formal Written Objection
After court case on 6/7/2007: To show cause on why adminstrator of estate should not be judicially settled, I received a letter from the court saying that I have to file a formal written objection by June 18th what form would I use for this? It is regarding Judicial settlement of Account of Adminstrator (re: estate of Uncle) in New York
Re: Formal Written Objection
New York law applies, right? No California lawyer is going to be able to give you a completely useful and reliable answer (unless also admitted to practice in New York).
However, I would say as a very general matter, response to an order to show cause is NOT something that can be handled by filling out a form.
Usually, an order to show cause is an obvious sign that someone or something has irritated the judge, by violating a rule, missing a deadline, or mishandling something. The order to show cause is asking you to fix the problem or accept the consequences. If you are OK with the proposed consequences, i.e. judicial settlement (whatever the heck that means in New York), you probably don't need to do anything. If you want a different outcome, you'll need to present the court with a showing as to why the court should handle the matter the way you want it handled.
Obviously, you'll need a New York licensed attorney to assure yourself of a decent chance at getting any outcome other than the "judicial settlement" being imposed.
