What is the name of your state? Kentucky
My mom died unexpectantly and her attorney is the executor of her estate and she named my daughter as the beneficiary. We are not knowledgable in how everything works, per se, and are beginning to feel very vunerable in trusting his suggestions, etc. In other words who is watching him??
He discusses issues only with my daughter which I understand but is telling her she should sell the fur coats, cars, etc. and she has no idea on what she wants to do. My daughter is just 22 and still grieving from my mom dying so suddenly. My mom was quite wealthy and had no debt when she died. The will states that at the age of 30 my daughter will receive the proceeds. I just dont want to see my daughter be taken advantage of by the attorney/executor and I am just concerned b/c my health is not good and since it is just the two of us I want to make dern sure she is receiving the best legal advice, etc.
Is there anything we or she can do? For instance, should she ask for a list of the jewelry with appraisals that we know are in her grandmother's lockbox? Also can the executor sell her grandmother's car without asking my daughter or can she try and sell it herself? How do we know he is asking the right amount for the car? And if he sells the car, does she get the money or does he have to put it back in the trust fund?
Any advice would be appreciated. thank you....
