What is the name of your state? CA
Father in law passed away in Dec 06. In his will, he stated that executor would be daughter's partner. Estate went into probate in March 07. Aside from the bills that were paid right after the funeral, nothing has been done to complete probate.
Is there a time limit for how long probate can take??
Can we contest any request for pay for her, since nothing has been done??
Same situation, another problem:
Father in law had a Putnam Investments account that withdrew $166 a month from his checking account that went into a fund that would pay for his funeral. All the kids KNEW that the fund was to pay for his funeral. When dad passed, the beneficiary claimed that money (now worth over $25K) and took that for herself, and has now filed a claim against the estate for the payment of his funeral expenses. Can we contest??
