Q: How do I file an eception to a 3rd not final account, in Baltimore Cnty. I inherited and recieved a house.
Due to neglect & mismanagement by the personal representive. Damages were done to the property by bursted water pipes,from no heat. The property was covered by insurance. But the repairs are really bad and incomplete. There is nothing in the account filing showing the cost of repairs or insurance amount. This would be my cause to file exception.
A: Perhaps you should have a full discussion with a local probate attorney.
A: Filing exceptions to an administration account is a time sensitive issue since exceptions have to be filed within 20 day of approval of the administration account. Even though receipt of insurance proceeds and expenditures of repairs to an estate asset (the house) should be included in the administration account, the issue that should be addressed is that the repairs are incomplete and the repairs completed were done is a shoddy manner. You should consult with a local probate attorney since exceptions or action against the personal representative most likely has to be instituted.
