Unfortunately, my grandmother is in a nursing home and can't act on something like this. She is near-death as it is. My uncle, my grandmother's son, could possibly have power of attorney on her, I'm not quite sure.
I just don't understand how or why stepchildren would even be named as heirs...
My great uncle passed away recently. He was my grandmother's only remaining sibling. He was a widower and never had biological children. His wife, who died several years ago, had children before their marriage and all children were adults by the time my uncle married her (none of them were...
My stepfather was named the executor in the will, but that has not yet been approved or confirmed by the probate court. He took the papers to the court and when our initial court hearing took place, the judge never even stepped foot inside the court room because my uncle wanted to have a...
Nobody has been named executor/administrator yet. The initial court hearing to do so got railroaded by the same uncle as last time. I apologize for opening a new thread, I didn't know it would cause any issues because this was a separate issue/question.

I appreciate your response so much and thank you both for correcting me. I have learned a lot from your replies. I do think I'm still confused as to who the "estate" is exactly (obviously other than my grandmother who has passed) when you say "the estate may agree to settle the matter...". So...
January 19, 2021 (not quite a couple months yet)
Yes it was submitted and our first court date was last week. My grandmother named my step-father to be the executor, and I was under the impression that the executor would be confirmed last week but we never even saw the judge as my uncle (who...
