Q: Judge has just granted me Admin. with full authority to manage estate BUT I'm confused bcuz the bank accts are blocked.
So what do i do about the bank accts being blocked? The Order does say FULL AUTHORITY to manage UNDER THE ESTATE ACT. Seems contradicting to me. Is this normal? Or is there a step I'm missing to get those bank accts unblocked?
A: First, provide a copy of your order to the bank. If that doesn’t work, consult your probate attorney. He or she is in a much better position to help you than anyone in this forum.
A: Full Authority really only has to do with real property and gives the administrator the authority to sell real property. Your order might say full authority but in item 5 might refer to blocked accounts which lets you avoid the bond.
