Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan

Just Want What is Mine!

My boyfriend died 18 mos ago before arbitration for an automobile accident lawsuit where I provided his attendant care. The lawsiuit was settled by arbitration 4 mos later with the PR & myself present and specifically stated attendant care provided by me for an exact amount. Now the PR is not wanting to pay me. In Michigan PIP money goes to the insurred, now the PR of the estate and they in turn pay you. The PR 1st tried to say he had already paid me & now says I didn't step up as a creditor of the estate with in the 120 day time period. The PR was present at arbitration and also signed the award letter from the insurance company releasing them from any further action within this 120 day period. As PR dosen't she have the obligation to pay the debts of the deceased? What is my recourse? I also have 2 promissory notes that were filed in the 120 day time period which she disallowed which I had to file suit in Circuit Court for this and also included the PIP claim award. Come time to go to court I will definitely be in need of an attorney, correct? Would /could my insurance company be the one to help with this? Or should I just let the proof speak for itself? Is this award for services I did provide not what the PR thinks I deserve?
