What is the name of your state? Ohio
I recieved a copy of "Notice of Probate of Will" dated July 19, 2004 along with a copy of the Last Will and Testament dated January 5, 1993 for the estate of my Uncle who passed away on 7/13/2004. My Uncle split the will between his 4 brothers and sisters who are deceased and if that was the case goes on to bequeath their share onto their children. I am named in the Probate of will as a Legatee or devisee, along with also being named as a beneficiary in the will. One of my Cousins is named as Fiduciary and Executrix.
To date no financials or property has been filed in probate court. A phone call and conversation to the attorney proved frugalness since he would not devulge any information only to say that the "Executrix" was clearing out the house of all possesions to ready it for selling. Phone calls to my cousin "Executric" were never returned.
As a beneficiary what information about the contents and dispersement of the estate am I entitled to? How can I find out what the estate is worth? What should I do to protect my interest in the estate? Is time an issue?
Thank You In Advance
