What is the name of your state?California
My mother passed away 9 months ago and left a will designating my brother to be the executor of the will and all assets to be split 50/50 between me and my brother. Apparently the probate period is almost over and recently I received a document from him called a "Waiver of Accounting" that he wants me to sign and is pressuring me to sign this immediately. What is that document and do you recommend I sign this. Also, how do I know that all assets have been accounted for and what assets she had? I have never received any documents describing any assets, (although I know there are quite a few) and is it required for the executor to provide me with an Inventory of Assets and if so when? Should I sign this "waiver" prior to receiving the Inventory of Assets? How do I get a copy of this Inventory?
