Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Estate administration & fraud

I am the executor of a medium sized estate. My sister was a POA over my dad who suffered and finally succumbed to Alzheimer's disease. I had numerous suspicions and requested all bank and credit card detail records.

I quickly determined 400-500 misappropriations running well over six figures. My sisters paid for their catering business costs, fashion school, restaurants, tanning, vet bills etc.

I presented all this to my siblings and they deny any problem. The estate attorney agrees with me that there's evidence of fraud, forgery and negligence but refuses to pursue these material claims. This attorney also tells me that pursuing this via the prosecutor's office, IRS or even VISA fraud department would just cause more irreparable family harm. I reside in Florida and this issue takes place in NJ.

Re: Estate administration & fraud

You make have to file a complaint against the executor of the estate and your sister personally to correct this problem.

It would seem that your trust relationship with your sister has been

altered.

Call me if you like.
