Q: My dad died and left a will with my sister and myself as co-executors. It is in probate now, but she is to inherit the
home place and I am to inherit vacant land. The probate lawyer insisted that the rent from the vacant land which will be mine to be placed in the estate account. However, my sister is collecting rent from the
house she will received, but she is not depositing any funds into the estate account. What legal action do
I need to take?. She worked for the probate attorney for years and he refuses to take action on this matter.

A: Fire that attorney. Hire another attorney to finish up the probate and file a petition to have your sister removed as co-executor based upon conversion of estate property.
