Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland
Forcing exector to mark a grave
My mother died, the executor inherited it all (approx $30K). I had no issue;
she had taken care of my mother in the last years of her life.
But there were oddities about the will: my mother's signature on the will looks nothing like her signature, the will stipulated that she had no children (but she does�me), and I actually found it odd that everything went to the executor in light of the signature thing.
I believe the will was forged.
I decided to let it go because, as I said, I really had no problem with the woman benefitting from the estate. But then I found out that when the executor didn�t mark my mother�s grave. That bothers me.
Today (15 months after her death) I received notice that the estate was recently awarded a $50K settlement for a PI claim my mother was having litigated at the time of her death.
And now I'm even MORE annoyed that the grave remains unmarked.
So I don't know if what I�m wanting to know is if there�s a way to contest the will at this point, or if what I�m wanting is to know if it�s possible to sue her (without it costing me a ton of money) to have the court so order her to pay to mark the grave. If you have any ideas for me, they�d be appreciated!

Re: Forcing exector to mark a grave
There are a number of issues including the allegedly forged document, the context in which it was effected if it is not forged, the discrepancy over your mother stating she did not have a child, the manner in which the estate was probated, and likely other matters.
These issues support a legal cause of action that you should seriously consider taking.
I would like to know further information and am available to discuss. You should contact me immediately to discuss your alternatives and taking legal action.
