Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

You should retain an Attorney. There are many choices. Please call my ofice to set up an appointment.

You do not say why there may be a delay or if there are unusual assets that may delay the estate being liquidated and distributed. You could petition the Court for an interim accounting and to compel the Executor to move things along. At the same time, you could voice objections to how the estate is being handled or express concerns about how assets are being sold/liquidated.

I agree with Walter. Three years is a long time...unless there are unusual assets [e.g. sale of a family business, etc.] that need to be addressed.

I would start by hiring an attorney and have him/her send a letter to the executor clearly stating the issues. If you don't get a prompt response, you can file a lawsuit to compel an accounting and seek the removal of the executor for breach of his fiduciary duty [i.e. failure to promptly settle the estate].
