Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota
Rights of those named in will to know distribution
What are the rights of those named
in a will to know the complete
distribution of funds? My children
were named in an uncle's will
(Minnesota) but we are being told
by the executor that all funds have
already been distributed & there is
no further information to give. Is
it typical practice to give this
documentation to all named heirs
in a will? Do we now have to get a
court order or bring suit to get that
documentation?

Re: Rights of those named in will to know distribution
If you think the executor did not perform his duties correctly you can bring a motion to the Court for an accounting. Then the executor would have to show where the money was spent and why there isn't any left for distributions.
In order to be notified of what's going on during the probate process you have to file a Notice with the Court stating your desire to be notified.
