A: If the Personal Representative is acting pursuant to Letters of Administration, and you believe they are not acting appropriately, your recourse is a motion to have the PR removed and replaced. If the person has not received formal Letters of Administration, you may open probate yourself and request appointment. Either way, you will arrive at a court hearing to determine who should be appointed.
