Q: Can a probate judge be held accountable if he fails to recognize any crime committed by an heir?
I am the PR of fathers estate. I filed a motion for a hearing and I cited a number of Statutes against the heirs for various things including theft, Misuse of entrusted property, fraud, etc. I also had to state the relief I sought. A status conference was scheduled, one of the heirs did not attend. I submitted a proposed distribution of funds to the heirs. I got no response from the heirs. Another status conference was scheduled for 2 months later. One of the heirs again did not attend. Judge scheduled a hearing for 2 months later. Even after me providing evidence of the crimes previously submitted to the court, the judge ignored the facts and evidence and granted inheritance to the heirs.
