Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota
My brother in law is the executor for my fathers estate, it is unsupervised. He sent me a one page letter stating the total probated assets for distribution which totaled 300K. I emailed him and asked him about the final accounting and he replied stating, Our lawyer will file something called Unsupervised Personal
Representative's Statement To Close Estate with the court. On that
document, I state that I have sent the final accounting to
required parties.
I emailed him again and ask if there will be an accounting of where the funds went and he said All verbiage, no numbers.
Now my dad had a trust that went to my sister and there was approx 300K outside of the trust that was probated and the trust was a substantial amount, in the millions, my question is how can he not show an actual accounting of the funds and only use verbiage?

Please accept my condolences on the loss of the father.
It’s probably premature to take any action as you don’t actually know what the lawyer is going to prepare your brother-in-law may not know what he’s talking about. Definitely you have to get a lawyer in your town to help you on this. There’s no way you can get help online with this; someone has to take a look at all the papers and figure out what’s going on.
Good luck.
