Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
Disbursement of Estate Dispute
My grandmother died, leaving a will and 2 executors. Another sibling, who was not named as executor, convinced her brother to have the other executor removed. There was not alot of money involved, but many sentimental objects.
They had a firm offer for the sale of the house, but 2 of the 4 children refused the offer. Since then, they have incurred over $13,000 in debt. Also, many of the items have ''disappeared'' and when the other 2 siblings ask about them, they are told they were either thrown away or the other sister does not have them.
Since the executor is not willing to retrieve the items from his sister, the other two want to sue both of them for not only the missing property, but also for the $13,000+ that was spent unnecessarily and the additional money that they would have received from the first offer.
Can they sue the two siblings for those items and the mismanagement of the estate?

Re: Disbursement of Estate Dispute
Yes, it sounds like there could be a lawsuit in this situation. Be forewarned, however, that your family will never be the same again. Odds are, however, if this is the way they are handling their mother's estate, there is already "bad blood."
