What is the name of your state? Ohio
I don't know where else to turn...I am in need of advice ASAP. The situation is that my mother passed away in September of 2003 and in her very outdated will she made an attorney that she used to know her executor. He (in my opinion) is ruining everything!! She had a lot of debt and we are being forced to sell her home to pay off the debt...however because this attorney has SLOWLY moved on getting the proper paperwork filed we've lost the buyers for the house and now forclosure proceedings are starting. This is obviously very painful for me and I feel like he just doesn't care at all. I asked him at the beginning of this venture to step down and allow me to handle this and he refused. Now because we fight over everything (mostly his lack of letting me know anything) he's refusing to have any contact with my sister or I. We're heirs...doesn't he have to contact us either by phone or via letter to let us know what's happening? He has stated if I call his office again he will file harrassment charges on ME? I'm not trying to harrass him, I just would like to know what's going on. Like when are the court dates, what's happening with the house, estate, etc. etc. Aside from the fact that she was my mother and this is hard enough I am the responsible party for the balance of the funeral expenses (no life insurance) and I feel that I do have a great interest in knowing what's happening with the estates assets to know if I am going to need to take out a loan to pay off this mass debt. I guess my ultimate question is can he be removed? He absolutely won't step down (I'm not sure why) but I just can no longer deal with this man (and he won't talk to me) Should my sister and I have more information about the estate than what we have? I just don't know where to turn. We don't have any money to retain an attorney to fight him, I just want this nightmare to end. Thanks in advance for any advice you have.
