Q: How do I find out where the money from the sale of a house is at?

A: You can review the court docket for the probate case to see what has taken place. You can also review the real estate records to see if the property has sold. If you are not satisfied with the way the estate is being handled and believe waste is taking place, you may petition the court to substitute yourself or someone else as personal representative. Schedule a free consultation to make sure your rights are protected.

A: You will want to take a look at the clerk of the court probate documents in the county where this took place, there should be status and resolution updates related to the home and other matters related to probate and assets. You may end up having to hire your own probate attorney if this is dragging ever onward as it appears to be. It would be useful to see the Will and any deed if this is related to probate and whether this home was Homestead. If the house was sold a while back, none of this should be taking so long and her and her attorney's responses are suspicious to say the least, either you are a beneficiary and should be getting updates, or you are not a beneficiary, and they should tell you do. If you are a legal beneficiary of the homes/estate, you should have received, inventory, accounting and regular updates and notifications ongoing. Red flags are raised high already when you state she will not talk to you and the attorney will not respond.
