Your options include challenging the estate accounting, asking for a new executor and bringing the matter to the attention of the court. If you can demonstrate criminal misconduct, then there are other options. I suggest you contact your own attorney as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact me.

Re: embezzling executrix

I am not sure at what stage the probate action is. At some point an inventory of all of the assets should be filed. There should also be a filing or upcoming filing of estate returns, both federal and massachusetts, assuming that the need is there. You can also demand an accounting and supporting bills at any time.

If you have evidence that the estate is being liquidated inapproiately, you should retain an attorney to protect your interests. If the executor has a bond, there is a likely action or demand against the bond issuer. If the attorney has malpractice insurance, there could be an action against the attorney, even if the attorney does not carry such insurance.

So first investigate, then act. If you wish to ask questions, or retain me, you may contact me at my office.
