Q: waiting almost 2 years for this probate to be closed, just waiting on a party to sign a paper that he is ignoring. he
has been personally served. every time this happens my money from estate keeps getting smaller, I have not even been kept up with all events that are happening even tho im the beneficiary, how can I get them to close this?
A: I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, there is no way to answer your question without knowing much more about the situation. If you have an attorney representing you in this matter, you may want to schedule an appointment to discuss the situation and get a better understanding of the status of the matter. If you are not already represented, you may want to consider sitting down with a local attorney to discuss the situation.
A: I am not sure what you mean by "closed". If you mean your final distribution, you need to petition for it. If you mean a final accounting, the paper is likely a waiver of it, which is common in NY.
