Q: Gfather passed on 01/10/17. Uncle left as executor. Nothing done since his death. What should have been done already?
My grandfather passed on 01/10/2017 and left my uncle, his oldest child as the executor of his estate. In his will it says, in short form, that his house and belonging are to be sold and split between his four children. My mother and aunt are included in his children but are being left in the dark. My other aunt currently lives in the home. My mother and aunt want to know what should have been done already since a year has passed and what can they do to get the ball rolling since they are in the will but not the executor?
A: Petition to remove the executor for self-dealing. But, it would be best to know what you are talking about and use counsel, because courts disfavor should petitions, especially by pro se parties.
