Mom passed in 2005. a living trust for her estate. the executor (her lawyer) distributed stocks and assets to us. We asked to keep her house in lue of our share. our stocks were redistributed accordingly. I haven't recieved anything reguarding ownership of the house (has no liens) and i recently found it has no ins. and none of the 5 yrs. tax has been paid. I contacted him and he said that he had sent papers long ago for me to take and have 'recorded' (never came). he asked if i had been paying the taxes (i haven't). he would (re)gather up the papers and send them out. now won't return a dozen calls over 2 months. what is my best avenue to follow. i don't want my house lost @ tax sale. who owns the house while it is waiting for distribution? is there any reason for the executor to hold up the transfer? he is considered a fami;y friend. just give me a little hope that everything is prolly OK and he'll come around in time. thank you.
