A: Yes, you can request an accounting from the executor/administrator to see what funds have been put into the account. You can also request an inventory of personal property. If you believe the executor/administrator is mishandling estate funds or property, you can ask the court to remove them and replace them with another person. Schedule a free consultation to make sure your inheritance is protected.
