A: It is possible that you could be arrested for the outstanding warrant when you go to court to petition to have your sibling removed as executor of the estate. It would be best to consult with an attorney to discuss your legal options and the potential consequences of your outstanding warrant.

If you are unable to afford an attorney, you may be eligible for legal aid services or a public defender. It is important to address the warrant as soon as possible to avoid any potential legal consequences.

Regarding your petition to have your sibling removed as executor of the estate, you will need to provide evidence to support your claims of fraud, theft, and failure to perform duties as executor. It is recommended that you consult with an attorney who specializes in probate and estate law to ensure that your petition is properly filed and that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.

A: a local lawyer might be in the best position to address this query.

if the bailiff runs your record and spots a BW you could be arrested.

if you are going to hire a lawyer, why not ask him/her to put the BW matter on the calendar and remove it.... because of the 9 years you may have grounds to get it dismissed???

you may want to consult with a probate attorney re the removal.
