Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Administrator/Attorney problems
How do I file for an accounting of an estate? My father passed away (intestate) in GA and I live in California. My brother, who lives in Georgia, has been appointed Administrator. He was appointed in May 2006 and has done nothing since that time. My brother, and the attorney we hired to handle the probate, have ignored my calls, and have refused to speak to me. The only paper work I have received was sent to me by the Effingham County Probate court. My address is listed as unknown, even though I have given it to the court, the attorney and my brother. The attorney also listed the value of my father�s estate at $35,000, which is well below the actual value since, in addition to personal property (including several vehicles and a boat) checking, savings, and retirement accounts my father owned a home in GA and an acre of property on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. I didn�t think I needed an attorney since we hired one to handle the Probate of my father�s estate. However, now I think I should. Finally, if my attempts to find an attorney are unsuccessful, what do I need to do to have the administrator removed? Are any special forms that I need to use? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
