Probate Court Appears Crooked From Top Down

Dads will named a woman he knew 6 years as executer, along with this she was named in will to recieve 90% of my dads 50% interests in one partnership, I'll call ABC,LLC, with the other 10% going to his biz partner. ABC,LLC held was the estates largest asset worth several million.Upon dads death I printed off tons of info I got online from recorder of deeds and sec of states office showing property owned along and which LLC it was under and put them up.My siblings and I along with this woman were named in will to get equal shares of dads 50% of XYZ,LLC not worth nearly as much as ABC,LLC. Last nite after looking over my papers I printed now 2 yrs ago,I noticed that the 2.8 mil biz was quit claim deed from XYZ,LLC to ABC,LLC 3 months AFTER dad had passed.Dad had no knowledge or intent when will was signed that she was to get 2.8 mil biz as she and his partner lead us to believe as that biz was not part of ABC,LLC anytime he wasalive. Appears that property was transferred to fit under whatever LLC they were named as having sole intersts in. I fired my lawyer as she oddly did nothing I retained her 4, and the judge has allowed this exec to file late inven.The estates lawyer was found suspended by bar but cont to show up, what canI do?

Your situation is too complex for a simple resolution. You need to discuss this matter in depth with an attorney. If you cannot find one in your area, I may be able to refer you to someone.

Good Luck
