Slow Moving Executor
I was wondering how do I get the executor to my mothers will to keep me updated. The executor is my brother. I do and have not spoke to my siblings in close to 3 years. I requested in writing, months ago, that I be kept updated on a reasonable basis. I received a ''You're an a-hole & a how dare you we are still morning letter '' at my work address from my sister. Not one word from the executor. He is not paying the property taxes on land my Mother willed to me. I have paid the last 4 quarters. Two from last year to avoid the tax sale of the land and 2 from this year. I sent him copies of the paid tax reciepts with the letter requesting to be updated. If he is not paying these taxes what else is he not doing? I have not a clue as to where he is at or what is going on. My mother died 8/27/06 and the will was probated 9/06. The will is pretty basic. All monetary things to be divided among her 6 children. Certain things left to this one or that one but pretty straight forward. Truthfully I don't know what to think. I do know requesting anything is writing is pretty much useless. Where do I go from here? (I am not sure who or if there is a lawyer for the will. I just know the name of the lawyer who drew it up) Thanx
Re: Slow Moving Executor
The problem that you describe is not unusual. If you are unable to get the executor to keep you informed without prompting, the formal procedure is to sue for an accounting of the estate. That is a relatively simple process and will result in an order to the executor to account for the assets of the estate to the court and you will get copies of everything. If you then believe that the executor has not done his job, you can ask to have him replaced.
If I can be of further help to you, call or email.
