Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Our mother passed away in October 2014. The house and estate (NY) were willed to her 5 children. Our one sister was named administrator in May 2015. She did not put the house on the market until 69 days ago, and has been very non-communicative about it since then. She first said the house would be taken off the market after 6 weeks, and when that didn't happen she said there were 3 offers that were close to the asking price. We never heard any more, so when I questioned her 2 days ago she said, in an email (that is the only way we can talk with her) that she would get back to me the next day. She has not, and we cannot reach her. Can we have a judge order the liquidation of the estate? None of us has received a penny of the estate.

Dear poster,
If your mother was a Florida resident and the will was written here it should be administered in the Florida County where she was residing at the death. I would need to know that and some additional information to assist you in order to more fully answer your question. The good news is it's likely in court right now with the judge overseeing the administration of your mother's estate. You can contact me by calling me at 561-502-1297 or emailing me at [email protected] so I can get follow-up information and try to better answer your question.
Sincerely,
Robert Roemer
Named Administrator in what court? She has a fiduciary duty to all beneficiaries. You should have your own attorney if you feel she is beaching that duty. Good luck.
