Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

estate and LLC companies

Our father died. He owned large business. His personnel attorney was his businesses attorney. This attorney was handling our father's estate. We had several meetings with attorney turning over what we knew. At one meeting when we questioned our fathers assets in business, attorney stated they would get back with that information. The next day attorney stated they could no longer handle our fathers estate due to ethical reasons. When asked about fathers money, Attorney stated LLC company doesn't pay dividends.

In related item. Father held many properties. In last 2 years many were mortgaged to 2/3 value. Our mother was co-owner. I have have proof the attorney falsely stated they witnessed mothers signature.

Please don't use my e-mail its a dead give away.

Can we force attorney to reveal fathers information?

Can anything worthy be done about notary fraud?

What rights do we have to fathers ''capital'' investments. We have been told if we attempt any action they will bankrupt LLC.

Re: estate and LLC companies

Even the LLC has shares that your father owned. Where does the will state that those shares go? As to the properties, are the held in the name of your father, the LLC, or both. Pursuing civil or criminal fraud against the notary/attorney might be a good idea, but you need more information. This info will be available from the successor executor to be appointed by the court.
