I am from NY with a little problem. I will try and make this as complete as possible. My parents died some time ago and my (unmarried) sister was left as the executrix to their estate, which solely consists of a 2 family house. My sister has also passed away and my oldest brother was left as the administrator, (court appointed). My problem is that my brother recently past away and we are now finding that the funds (from the rents) were misappropriated. (There were originally 8 heirs - currently there are two heirs surviving.) Currently, with some effort, we recently received some bank statements from my niece. We noticed that there are a few entries that are just not right. So we are trying to get all the paid bill receipts and all of the bank statements to find out what happened to all the monies that should have been in the bank. We are told that the receipts, for services rendered, are on - not bill sheets, but on plain pieces of paper, with no business names, addresses or phone numbers or for what house the services were for. The papers just consist of an amount , a signature, a date, and possible a customer's name. My question is: will these papers (bills) hold up in a court of law? We believe, according to the bank statements and events that have happened over the last few years, that the funds were misappropriated. We currently have a meeting with the attorney that is currently handling the estate and 2 of my nieces, on Thursday. (This is when they are suppose to produce the papers that we asked for). I am looking for some help here as I am not rich, nor am I young anymore... and the house is under contract to be sold. I would appreciate any help you can give me, as I am at my wits end and I am getting too old for this nonsense.
