15-12-717. Corepresentatives - when joint action required.
If two or more persons are appointed corepresentatives and unless the will provides otherwise, the concurrence of all is required on all acts connected with the administration and distribution of the estate. This restriction does not apply when any corepresentative receives and receipts for property due the estate, when the concurrence of all cannot readily be obtained in the time reasonably available for emergency action necessary to preserve the estate, or when a corepresentative has been delegated to act for the others. Persons dealing with a corepresentative, if actually unaware that another has been appointed to serve with him or if advised by the personal representative with whom they deal that he has authority to act alone for any of the reasons mentioned herein, are as fully protected as if the person with whom they dealt had been the sole personal representative.
Why not petition the court to have sis removed as co-rep?Prepared 'on advice of'. I guess if we had, as two of us had asked to do immediately after our Mother's passing, engaged a lawyer I wouldn't be trolling the net for info! The estate, in terms of assets, is small. No lawyer we spoke with wanted to take on the job of dealing with dueling co-execs for pennies.
Perhaps we are best of letting the whole thing close and wave as sister dearest heads into the sunset.
It will be very interesting when the auditors go over what sis has submitted when there's missing information, etc.However, now that she has prepared the closing documents and had them notarized with consulting my brother, has sworn that she has provided a written account, and that she notified us on May 1...um...that's tomorrow, and the notarization was on the 25th....we now feel its time to put this to the court and have her feet put to the fire, so to speak.
What's wrong???? Needn't ask, because it should be very obvious. It's M-O-N-E-Y. And when it comes to that money, in more than a few cases family relationships and ties don't seem to mean anything anymore.We are preparing a a statement to the court to request that they note that there are two executors and they are only receiving papers from one, with wrong dates and testifying that a final accounting has been made which in fact has not been done. And we will ask that the inventory of assets be filed with the court as a matter of record as it has not been distributed to all heirs.
What is with a death in the family these days?? So many families go completely stupid!!
Thank you for your ear and info!!
Are you having fun adding irrelevant comments to old threads?What's wrong???? Needn't ask, because it should be very obvious. It's M-O-N-E-Y. And when it comes to that money, in more than a few cases family relationships and ties don't seem to mean anything anymore.
