What is the name of your state? West Virginia
The lawyer handling my Great Uncles estate has dropped the ball with the final settlement. The Final Decree was placed in the paper in May and no action has taken place since then. My father says all that is left to do is have the final settlement typed up and sent to the county commisoner. He calls the lawyer a couple times a month and the woman he talks to has told him the one or two times we've actually caught her that she had finshed and sent off the final settlement and when we call the court to check we find out it was a lie. Also the lawyer handling the estate happens to be the "fidicuary?" something or other and my dad says the final settlement has to go through him again so he doesnt want to piss him off. What can we do to force the lawyer handling the case to type the settlement up? My father and his side of the family are afraid of confrontation and i feel im the only hope to get the lawyer to finish off this estate.
