Q: How do I fire a attorney who has not kept me in the loop and has funds of my inheritance

A: If your attorney has not kept you informed about your case and has not provided updates regarding the status of your inheritance funds, you have the right to terminate the attorney-client relationship. Begin by sending a formal written notice to your attorney expressing your dissatisfaction with their lack of communication and your decision to terminate their representation. Clearly outline your concerns and request the return of any funds or documents related to your case, including your inheritance.

Once you have terminated your attorney, promptly seek legal advice from a new attorney who can assist you in recovering your inheritance funds and addressing any legal issues related to your case. Your new attorney can review the circumstances surrounding your inheritance and take appropriate action to ensure that your interests are protected. Additionally, they can advise you on any potential legal remedies available to you for the attorney's failure to communicate and handle your case effectively.

Keep records of all communications and interactions with your previous attorney, including copies of any written correspondence and documentation related to your case and inheritance. These records may be valuable evidence if you need to pursue further action against your previous attorney for their negligence or mishandling of your case. By promptly terminating your attorney and seeking new legal representation, you can take proactive steps to protect your interests and pursue the recovery of your inheritance funds.
