Q: MY SISTER IS PR, OF OUR MOMS ESTATE, SHE IS USING FUNDS FROM OUR MOTHERS RV PARK TO LET HER DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW
LIVE THERE RENT FREE, SHE HAS SABATAGE THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY FOR 1.75K AND WE FEEL SHE IS NOT DOING HER JOB AS PR.
WHAT CAN MY BROTHER AND I DO?
A: Where a Personal Representative is doing a poor job, the court can remove her and appoint a new Personal Representative. I recommend discussing the facts of this matter with a probate attorney. Your attorney will let you know if the circumstances are sufficiently egregious to make it likely that the court would remove your sister as Personal Representative. If so, your attorney can file a petition with the court seeking your sister's removal and the appointment of a suitable new Personal Representative. In such cases, a professional fiduciary can often be of help.
