I can't go there right now, it is a considerable distance to drive and I have several emergencies going on and a lot work that has to be completed in a certain time frame. I have pretty much insisted on speaking with him and my brother called and no response. Most of our communications have been via telephone, email etc. due to the circumstances and the pandemic etc.
After signing the papers and paying the fees at some point he stopped responding to emails, and when I called the cell phone there is no room for leaving a message now and he does not respond to an sms to call me, all of which he did respond to in the past although sometimes it took a while. I called the office twice, and spoke with someone there, no response- he never called back. As did my brother once now who is the executor.
One thing I am worried about is that official documents have to be dropped off to the court at some point for the probate and he is not telling me when this will happen, he said it would take 50-70 days for the probate. The probate fee was charged to my card 1-2 months ago but the papers were all signed in March and the fee was paid in January.
I am going to call the court. Can I demand a refund it the probate does not go through if it is already filed? I am in un chartered territory here for me. But then it has to start all over again with someone else and I want it to be done asap, at least for this country.
I do not have time to do all of this now because of a lot going on. I hope there is nothing serious to worry about here. I am going to try to call the court tomorrow and see if they will tell me if it has been filed.
I don't know who the admin of the firm is- I think it may be his wife. This is a relatively small firm as far as I can tell.
Thanks for your help 😁
