My Mother passed away in February with no will. This left my sister, step father and I as heirs. However, my stepfather has not started an estate. He wanted to do an unsupervised estate which my sister and I both were uncomfortable with. The attorney my step father employed said we had the right not to sign for an unsupervised estate and that a supervised estate would be opened. This was in June and nothing has been done. The last time the lawyer responded to my inquires (inquires were made via phone and email) was August 11th where she responded that no estate would be opened. I have contacted all the attorneys in this small rural area but none are willing to open the estate. What advice could you give as to what I need to do next. Should I contact the judge? Or………. Please advise. Thank you.
