Q: As I am PR for almost 3yrs for my late father’s estate, am I entitled to see all filings on docket for probate case?
I have requested all docs and information from estate attorney, that I hired, and still no response after 6 days. I see a hearing scheduled for tomorrow with no knowledge of purpose and see filings to judge from another heir that has no attorney.
A: You should be getting every single document that is filed ongoing from your probate attorney if you are the named Personal Representative in the Probate Case approved as such by the judge. If you are not being updated and getting documents there is indeed a problem, this is the job of your probate attorney, keep you informed and updated with all filings and court documents ongoing.

A: Sounds like it is time to change your attorney. If he or she is not doing her or his job, it is time to get your service elsewhere.
