Hello: we have a probate case where a caregiver become PR and and beneficiary/undue influence. The judge agreed to an Admin Ad Litem to be appointed. We would like to find out how is the Ad Litem chosen and will the Ad Litem ask the parties to submit their evidence and will the Ad litem be paid from estate? Can we ask for a specific lawyer to be an Admin Ad Litem?Thank you in advance.
A: The judge will probably make the appointment, but you could certainly ask to be involved in the process. The judge should enter an order providing how the administrator ad litem will be paid.
