Re: probate
Assuming that you are not getting answers to your questions, and given that this is an intestate estate (you refer to "administrator"), it might make sense at this point to speak with an attorney to assist in getting attention.
Please contact my office if you need legal assistance.

There are filings in the probate court that could tell you part of the story. You can also check to see about the wrongful death suit, by checking the file where the action was filed.
You can simply write to the attorney and ask the attorney for a status report. If all else fails, get a lawyer.
