What is the name of your state? Illinois
I received this letter today from our executors attorney of my grandmas estate.
This is a probate case from 2004 small estateunder 100,000. The executor is my aunts husband , On the 9th 0f july we filed at the court house to have him removed as executor then on the 12th today we get this letter.
The letter states on Tuesday, JUly 31, 2007 at 9;30 a.m. or soon thereafter as counsel may be heard.I shall appear before the honorable presiding judge or any judge sitting in his stead, in the courtroom usually occupied by him in XXXXX , Illinoisand present the final account of legal represenative, a copy of which is attached, and ask that it be approved and if a final account , that the estate be declared settled and the legal represenative be discharged from office. If the account is approved by the court upon said hearing, in the absense of fraud,accident or mistake the account as approved is binding upon all persons to whom this notice is given.
My question is do I get a court date before this hearing or wait till this hearing to go before the judge to tell our cause for action?when I filed the clerk of the court said usually the lawyer sets the date. she said if we didn't hear anything within 2 weeks we could come back in and she would set a date. Then we get this!
The executor is charging 3000.00 for maintaining estate in reality he depreciated it by letting his children live there for 2 years . We have before and after pictures as the damage they did. He also failed to collect rent from them stating they needed a place to live. He had 11 people living there at 1 time. Then charged heirs on final report for replacing hot water heater and faucet, (with this many people bathing I am suprised that all that went out.)They sold all the furniture to their kids for next to nothing also I would appreciate any answers Thank you!
