What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My brother is the primary executor of my mother's estate. I am the secondary. My sister is only listed as a beneficiary. My mother died in 2005. The estate is considered cash poor, had a home improvement loan to pay back, and only asset is the house. Accounting has been completed, however, my brother continually wants to update newly found receipts to this date...believe this is a reason for delay. I do not feel this is right. He should pay her.
Home improvement loan has been paid back out of the estate. I have been paid my share of the assets. However, my sister has not been paid. My brother has not even given her the accounting. House is in my brother's name I believe.
Today, received notice of a hearing in August as to why estate cannot be executed. Sister is also asking for legal fees to be paid.
How does this affect me? Legal consequences? What do I need to do to prepare for the hearing? What else do I need to know to best handle the situation to prevent legal consequences?
Please advise,
