Re: need to know
You are entitled to an estate accounting which, among other things, will disclose all estate assets, debts and expenses, and may put some pressure on the executor to wrap things up and distribute the assets of the estate.
You can file a complaint in court to compel the executor to file the accounting. The legal costs of such a proceeding are often paid by the estate.
Re: need to know
Sounds like 'nice' is not going to work with your cousin, and you will need a lawyer to get some answers.
I do this work. Call me if you would like me to help you. The phone call is free. These situations are nasty, but it happens quite often, unfortunately.
