Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
Uncooperative Co-executor
I have been named the co-executor of my fathers will along with another heir. There is no surviving spouse. This co-executor has many of the supporting documents needed to settle the estate and refuses to produce them to my fathers attorney. It is now almost 2 months since his death and it is impossible for us to proceed. There is a piece of property involved in the estate which this individual states they will never agree to sell. We are in the process of getting appraisals for the property at this time. What can we do to get this resolved?

Re: Uncooperative Co-executor
The co -executors need to retain a lawyer to handle the estate. It need not be your father's lawyer unless you so choose. If the 2 executors can't agree on a lawyer, then each has the right to retain his own. If the 2 lawyers can't work things out, then one of you must petition the Court to break the deadlock and perhaps remove the non-cooperating executor.
