What is the name of your state? Alabama
I will try to make a long story short
My mother-in-law passed away Feb 2001 with no will.
She died before the will was signed. My husband was primary beneficary on her insurance his brother was contingent. That matter was resolved in a settlement agreement which stated that he agreed to meet with my husband to disburse of her personal property. He went behind our backs and became executor of her estate which consist of nothing but her personal belongings. This was done through the probate court. Her belongings was being stored in a storage building. We received a call from the manager of the storage that it was going up for public auction. We arranged to meet with the manager to view contents and immediately discovered anything of value was gone.
We were allowed to inventory contents and compared to the inventory that he presented to probate. We filed our inventory with the probate and asked what we needed to do they said that we had to petition the probate judge for a hearing to find out where all her belongings went, but they would not tell us how to do it. They said that we could do this without an attorney. How do I write the petition out to do this? Do you have any advice you can offer me?
