Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana
Attorney no longer interested and not responding
What can I do to insist to an attorney to finish the final process of closing my mothers estate? The estate is unsupervised, and I have done most of the paperwork, he has filed documents with the court since I live in Ohio. He is co admin. He will not return my repeated phone calls, or emails. (this has been a problem from the beginning, but I did not want to lose the retainer I already paid him, and there was not the urgency there is now) All assets have been sold, all bills have been paid, taxes have been filed. It is just a matter of filing a no tax order(?), quietus and final distribution of the remaining funds to my siblings. This is dragging on way too long. (she died in May 2008) My siblings and I need the money. (estate is worth less than 100,000) I do not want to hire another attorney. What else can I do?

My best recommendation is to remind the attorney that he needs to get this done or you will contact the court and the disciplinary commission.
