Nashville, TN asked in Probate for Michigan

Q: When a probate judge appoints a convicted felon as personal representative in an interstate is that Color of Office?

All heirs weren't listed, it appears the money has been distributed did this constitute Civil Theft? There is also First Amendment retaliation in that proper notices weren't received, inspection of file and records were denied. Unrelated cases were opened and the next surviving relative was denied due process in that case as well, it's an ongoing abuse of power. An ombudsman complaint was filed no explanation was forthcoming. A records request was made no response. Intentional and wilful emotional distress and conspiracy of silence.

A: Your situation is unclear at best, the ‘first amendment’ has nothing to do with this sort of thing but what is clear is you need to have a local licensed attorney review all the related paperwork ASAP and determine if you have basis for an appeal or some other civil action to recover whatever damages you can prove. And whether or not that makes financial sense.

If someone ‘steals’ a dollar you don’t spend $5000 seeking compensation in other words.

Don’t delay as there are limitations on how long after something happens you can seek redress. Get that local legal advice.
