In Maine, probate court allows 3 years to file to become executor of estate. My friend had not bothered with it until she found out her mother had purchased stocks. She wants to cash out and release them so that she can tie off the loose end, but they said they couldn't without an estate account. She cannot open an estate account without being the executor of estate. It has been 6 years since her mom passed away and she didn't leave a will.
How can she become executor of her mothers estate so she can cash out the stocks?
