What is the name of your state? California, My Mom passed away in July of 2002. My brother is executor, he sold my mothers house, (of which my daughter and I resided because I was my moms caregiver) and has done nothing since. He refuses to respond to the probate attorneys phone calls, messages, etc. I have hired a attorney who is doing absolutely nothing to expedite this. My brother and I are to split the estate 50/50 but he won't complete the process and distribute the funds. We are not on speaking terms so he won't accept my calls either. Help!
