Re: The Ricky Ray Law
The first thing you need to do is have the personal representative removed ASAP. This is done by filing a Petition with the Court setting out the grounds for removal and requesting same. At the same time, the Petition should ask the Court to freeze all assets held by the personal representative as fiduciary for the estate and or its beneficiaries. The sooner you act the better as there is probably no bond in this situation. As long as you can show uneven distribution without adequate reason for same, I believe you've got a slam dunk to remove the PR. At that point, the Court will appoint a replacement, usually an attorney in this County. In the event an attorney is appointed, you should request the Court award all fees assessed against the estate, be assessed against the removed brother. Call if you need help. I've handled a substantial number of same and similar cases.
