What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
florida executor took bank accounts and did not report them to probate court because they were joint titled between the deceased and the executor.
The executor did report taking the monies to the beneficiaries.
We were told that the monies were taken as a repayment of a debt between the deceased and the executor.
When I asked the executor to provide backup of how the debt was accumulated I was given an accounting by the executor that was missing insurance company reimbursements that would have paid for the debt. I found out from the insurance company that the estate was paid reimbursements.
I requested from Estate's attorney that I as a beneficiary be shown tax returns, bank statements during the years before death that the debt was incurred. I was told by the Estate's attorney that the information I am seeking was outside the jurisdiction of the probate court.
I also want a report of any other bank accounts at time of death, but because I am not an executor I cannot search for them
How should I proceed?
