This practice did not take care to communicate with all members of my mother's will, as individuals to the case, leaving a mess following her death. I am named as her Executor but I was not informed of crucial changes. One member on the will stole all her financial accounts, without the other two parties to the will notified. I am in possession of a check from HUD, which I can't deposit to my account in Florida without a Florida-approved statement certifying me as her representative. My bank needs this certification before they can open up an Estate in my mother's name. At the time of her death, I was told by a family member that there was no need and that there was no estate. That was a lie. She had a checking, a savings, and a home. The home has been settled. The money has not been accounted for. I need the "certificate" to open an estate for her in Florida to deposit this check. Resolution pending. It has been two years since her death. read more
