I had posted a question earlier this month but no responses. I need to know if any one knows about Mediations. I went to court Aug 9th (with out an attorney) to stop the court from assigning the executer (my aunt). I request a public administrator (a court appointed executor). The judge listened to what I had to say and she decided to set a mediation court date so our family could sit down and go over what the issues are.
My aunt sold 700acr of our family’s property in CA for 238K if you live in CA you know how crazy that is... and it was owned out right since 1907.
Someone got a sweet hart deal and the aunt receives the monthly payment off the sale of the property (she changed my grandfathers will after the sale of the property to make sure she receives the note). Now she wants to become the executer!
I have been told I need an attorney for this. I contacted an attorney and explained the whole story of what has happened and he was pretty up front and said she definitely screwed us but in order to fight this attorney fees could be up to 100K.
I got involved for my dad since he doesn’t know the first thing about how to deal with his sisters fighting and all he wants is for things to be divided equal. My dad is 62yr and so I have found that with his age he can get legal advice for free but I guess you get what you pay for. I don’t know if I should get an attorney or just go to the Mediation and see what happens.
