If the estate was properly set up, the insurance company should be able to pay the estate (through the administrator appointed). Once that is received, a guardianship needs to be set up for your granddaughter and a guardian appointed. From there, the administrator can transfer the money to the guardianship and the estate closed out once all the paperwork is completed as required. It sounds like that attorney has not handled this properly, but there may be other issues that you are not aware of that may have held this up. I would need to look at the probate estate file to find out what really has happened. www.socrateslegal.com
