I did 90% of the work of sorting, cleaning out and fixing up my grandmother's house for sale after she died. I was not in her will so the attorney says I get paid nothing. How do I ask my family for some compensation for my time and the mental anguish that I went through for months dealing with her estate while they did practically nothing?
This is what Rovanas post is getting at.
If probate was still opened, you could file a claim against the estate on your own. Now there’s a specific format & filing sequence that must be done but you can DIY this.
If probate atty failed to include a properly done claim, you can file a complaint against the atty. You contact the State Bar Association as to how it’s done. They will have a detailed step by step system to do this.
