What are my duties and rights as an executor of fathers will?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The information presented is incomplete. Were the accounts owned solely in your father's name? Were they joint accounts? Did any of the accounts have payable on death or designated beneficiary directions? Who are the legatees under your father's will? Your father's will must be filed with the County Clerk. As the named executor you would seek to open a probate estate and be appointed the representative. As the appointed representative you would collect the probate assets existing at the time of his death, pay all claims against the estate, and distribute the assets in accord with the terms of the will. This may mean that you must recover estate assets improperly converted by your mother, if any. This can be done through the probate estate. If at the time of his death your father had assets in excess of $100,000 or real estate then a probate estate should be opened to administer and deal with the assets. The appointed representative would have the duty to collect the assets of the estate as of the date of death.

What should I do if my trust that was left to me by my grandfather has been embezzled by two trustees and an attorney I hired?

Your lawyer will know the lawyer involved, unless what you are saying is you do not want to hire an attorney that may be friendly with the collection lawyer you retain. This sounds like a bit of a mess. Hopefully, it can be sorted out relatively quickly and easily.
