Q: Uncle filed probate case which is fraud.He was administrator. I hired lawyer.Now I am administrator.But it's still fraud
I am now administrator of this probate case. I hired a probate attorney. I went and told this lawyer that my grandmother who passed away did not own real estate. My uncle is her only living son. He went and filed a document saying I gifted my home to my dying grandmother. I never gifted my home away! But it's filled and notarized and it's no wonder why he was the only one that went to open a probate case. He thinks he next of kin only. He never mentioned I existed to courts he never notified or served me so I know about the probate case. I am her granddaughter. Either way he is no longer administrator. Now it's me. But that's not what I wanted. I'm telling the attorney I hired since I hired him that this is fraud There is no need for probate Why he not listening to me? What can I do? I never gifted my home away to grandma so my uncle can claim next of kin and take my home or a percentage of it.....NO! I wouldn't do that. What can I do my lawyer ignoring me!
A: Your lawyer may know things that you don't know, or he may simply not understand what is going on. If you feel he is not properly representing you, you should let him go. Probate is a very difficult field of law, and it is not always easy to prove fraud.
