Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
What can you do if an attorney keeps prolonging estate processes?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Discuss it with the attorney. There may be very valid reasons why the estate is not closed. If you are not convinced you are on the right track, consult with another attorney about possible representation.
Contact the attorney and ask them why there is a delay in the administration of the estate. It does take time and how much time it takes varies. If your attorney is unwilling to communicate with you and explain the process, you may want to contact another attorney. Regards,
contact the attorney and discuss the reasons for delay. You may be surprised to find that stocks and bonds may be the issue which are hard to track down if over 20 years old. Also there may be other items that have not come in to do a proper inventory. Heirs may be the issue - hard to find sometimes. If your attorney can not present a valid reason, then perhaps you might want to find another attorney. Contact the Florida Bar for help.
