What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? KENTUCKY
As Administrator of my parent’s estate I wish to purchase several sentimental items. I have written permission (notarized) from my only sister, (who has waived her fiduciary rights), to purchase from the estate with 2 estimates of value, as long as I deposit the money into the estate account. I have asked my attorney to present this to the Court/Judge to prevent any possible objections from anyone, including her children/immediate heirs, as they will likely receive her portion of the estate.
My attorney continually states that this is unnecessary, as it would cost anyone considerably more in legal fees than they would gain monetarily from the items to be purchased.
I have waited for 3 weeks for his secretary to schedule me a court appearance and now, my attorney is now on vacation for 3 weeks and his assistant is also unavailable for an extended amount of time.
I know it is possible to contact the Circuit Court Clerk’s office and schedule myself a court date to present the notarized permission, and have it included in the probate file. Is this advisable? Will I need my attorney present? If so what role would he play?
I could have initiated/handled the entire probate case by myself as my attorney had little to do with the entire thing except for having his secretary type the forms and contact the Clerk’s office for a court date.
If I appear before the Judge in court what exactly do I ask for…
Thank you
