Q: How do we start the process of removing the executor?
My sister is executor, my mom passed May 2020, and had a very simple estate. Still not closed out, and she will not respond to emails from me or the probate attorney. There are deposits in moms name she will not clarify where they are
A:
This issue, and your questions, should be addressed to your probate attorney.
In PA, every personal representative, whether executor named in a probated will or and administrator, both appointed, and entrusted, by the court, is required to file an Inventory of all estate assets. That Inventory should give you the answers you posed, and it is available in the court's file in the probate case.
It may also be that this Executrix's refusal to respond to questions about the Estate assets are sufficient to request that the Court replace her. That likewise is a question for your probate attorney.
