Help!
My brother passed away Jan 05, At the time of his death we thought we had all the loose ends tied up and his living will would take effect upon his death. He was selling some land at the time(40 acres,$ 80,000) and we were under the understanding by his agent every thing was a done deal, then he died, and yep the land sale fell through. Since the land wasn't in the will we were forced to probate the will. Now 3 1/2 years later we are still waiting for the final outcome. There is nothing being contested in the will. The attorney handling the probate (when he returns his phone calls, but that's another issue) says that's just the way it is and it takes this long. This is in a small town in NV , I live 2000 miles away. We talked to the other attorney in town and he is to busy. I don't believe I can sell the land until it goes through probate.
My question is HOW CAN I LIGHT A FIRE UNDER THIS GUY TO DO SOMETHING! Do I just fire him and start over? My brothers heirs are coming of age in which I can start to distribute some funds but I want to have everything cleared up and know exactly how much money is involved before I will start to distribute it.
