If there was fraud or concealment involved, you may have a case against the previous administrator, which may be worth pursuing if the amount in question is more than the attorney fees involved in getting it, and the previous administrator has assets with which to satisfy any potential judgment against him. It's worth seeing an attorney about for a consultation.
