Q: How to get distribution on settled estate in Arizona?
I am in Texas. My mother lived in Arizona; her estate was probated in Maricopa County. Although it was contested, all parties came to agreement and the court signed the agreement in January 2018. Since then I have not been able to get the lawyer who probated the case for me to answer my calls. I believe he at one time petitioned the court to make me executor but I don't know if that went through or not. Since the lawyer won't answer me I don't know what to do.
A: I recommend hiring a new Arizona lawyer to investigate for you and let you know the status of your case. If your lawyer is not communicating with you, there could be a problem. You may need to consider hiring a new attorney to complete this probate.
