Asked in Appeals / Appellate Law, Family Law and Probate for Arizona

Q: Can I file a motion to reconsider? Or appeal?

I have been going through a probate case as an heir against my 2 sisters one of which was appointed personal representative. It has been going on for over 2 years fron the beginning i have filed requests with the court for her removal, for the court's review of administration, all were ignored or denied. She was ordered 3 times to provide supplemental closing statement with proof of where estate funds went she never complied. On 3/26 we had an evidentiary hearing and order to show cause with me having to provide evidence against her due to my objection of closing. I submitted all of the exhibits in time but i unfortunately was 15 mins late for that hearing and the judge administratively closed the case and said my failure to appear was me withdrawing my objection. My sister admitted in a filing that she paid me less then her and my other. Sister despite being ordered to evenly distribute at 33.3%. She has failed to comply with the orders of the court but the court has done nothing!

A: I am not an Arizona attorney. But yes, I would file a motion to reconsider with the trial court.
