Portland, OR asked in Estate Planning for Oregon

Q: The 2 PR's of my mother's estate are not listing the property for sale, etc. What are our options to get things moving?

There are 2 PR's of my mother's estate.They are to handle things for my 2 sisters, one of which is my niece's mother, I have my own control. There is property to sell. I got a realtor to do a market analysis. He has a cash buyer. My niece won't list with him & says "I'll list it when I'm ready". We initially hired an attorney to help with the estate. I've reached out to him-he is uncooperative. There are no bills on the estate, no money owed on the property & a large sum of money in the bank. What are our options to get things done?

A: Assuming all other options, including direct negotiation, mediation, PRs' rejection of a written offer, etc., then you may file an action with the court asking the court to provide instructions on how to proceed.
