What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
TEXAS
Probate is in TX, I live in NY.
I think I understand that after letters of T are filed and then Inventory and Appraisal are accepted, that there is no final "closing" hearing and legal/lawyer stuff is ended....Independant and uncontested will.
Mother died 3/04, I'm beneficiary 0f 20%. Partial disbursements in '06 (60% - 90% to all ). Communications with sibs/co-executors now say that liquidation of IRA in 06 and their failure to file taxes throw us into 30% penalty and I'm responsible for my share of tax liabilities. (Kiss my A).
I've never received any accountings as prescribed in the will....don't have a clue where funds have gone or what billable hours have been charged...
Last phone talk with sister/co-exec says that my remaining share - 35K - will be drastically reduced.
Can I write a letter to the Probate court asking for execs to show why this is taking over 4years, and order an itemized accounting, what they've been doing with accounts/THE ESTATE, or do I need to get an atty to file some motion and scuffle for 35K? Remember, I'm in NY and probate is in TX. Can whatever motion be filed pro-se or am I too late.
All opinions welcomed!
Thanks a Bunch,
