Re: estate mother deceased

There should have been a Complaint sent with it, and you need to file an Answer to the Complaint. There is probably also a return date at which hearing will be held. You have provided no information as to what this about, and there may be more required. I suggest you have an attorney familiar with the matters review it and assist you.

Re: estate mother deceased

You don't provide any facts which would be helpful to me in answering your question. However, as a general rule, if a complaint has been filed with an order to show cause, and your interest in the estate is at issue, you need to hire an estate attorney immediately in order to protect your interest.

Failure to timely respond to the order to show cause could severely predudice your rights and your interest in the estate.
