What is the name of your state? Minnesota
PR has not received correct instructions of Duties of PR. If a Will states specific instructions as to how the estate is to be handled to hiers, can this PR do anything differently? Unfortunately, he has been told that he can do some things and not have to do some things. For instance, he was told that POA could still write checks out after death without being a beneficary of the account. He was never told that the PR is responsible for making sure the bookkeeping was done, paying bills and the correct way to do this. He has put himself in a situation that is not good. The attorney is now handling the bookkeeping because he does not want to. He also told me that he is charging me for it because he is mad that I checked on some information that I thought was wrong...as it turned out...it was! I am not happy with how things are going and do not want him in trouble, but he doesn't seem to understand how things should be set up for probate. The atty who is handling this also represents my brother and his business as well as my parents will. This is the same brother is was POA. Everything seems to be wrong here. Any advice would be appreciated.
