Q: My father died intestate in nov 2015. He the only owner listed on the deed. My stepmom is the administrator and she
Refuses to give us any info about the estate. My siblings and I took it upon ourselves to go to city hall and seen she listed his house worth $150000 as the estate. Now we've seen online because she refuse to talk to us that the house in now under contract to be sold. The realtor that is now helping her is her new boyfriend and trying to cut me and my two siblings out of our share of the sell of the house. Is she allowed to do that? She has been pocketing everything for herself and hasn't called and given us anything. She won't return our calls and doesn't let us get things of sentimental value. Instead she's selling them off without telling us because family members have told us
A: You need to engage a lawyer to act on your behalf in order to force her to give you the information you are entitled to and to protect your interest in the assets of the estate.
