My friends mother passed away leaving an estate of over 1 ml to her 20 year old daughter to inherit at age 45 and if contested by anyone then there will be no inheritance. The lawyer who was

appointed executor by the

deceased mother took $60,000 the first year to administer the estate. It is now year 3 and the lawyer will not provide an annual report of the estate to the 20 year old granddaughter as she requested. The concern is that he is using the funds other then admi starting the estate because he told her there will probably be nothing left for her at age 45 because of his fees. What percentage can he take by law? Please advise.

I agree with the earlier responses. With the amounts at stake, there is not any reason that your friend should not have a capable attorney involved on her behalf, preferably an attorney chosen based on a solid referral. It is likely that she will be able to provide payment of the attorney from the assets of the trust.
