Q: my brother ignored a court order to show estate . what do I do next?records
My father suffered a stroke in 2007 and has been cared for by my brother since. Dad died in April 2014 and brother has shown no records. Went to Court in June 2015 and got an Order to Show Cause with a 30 day deadline. Brother went out of town and did not provide records as ordered during my trip to NJ from AZ. No contact since then. I did write a letter to Judge reporting the attempts to connect and reported that the taxes are unpaid, plus a few other issues. Does this letter need to be in a certain form?
A: You must retain an attorney to bring a Motion before the Court to compel compliance. Good luck.
