Can a beneficary of a will force the executor to probate a will when she refuses to do so?
msgrannie54 asked:
My aunt is the executor of a will left by my grandmother. She refuses to probate the will that entitles property in Arkansas to be divided between my aunt, my father and my uncle. The will was drawn up in Arkansas decades ago. My grandmother died about 20 years ago and was a resident of California when she died. My aunt, father and uncle all live in California. My dad does not have the original will but he does have a copy. He would like to have his share of the property now so that he can give it to his younger children, but my aunt refuses to probate the will. Can he bring this to the California courts or must he go through Arkansas. The attorney is also deceased. Thank you.

how long does it take in probate?
Cowgirl seahorse rider asked:
There is a will, it is not contested, land involved, does the longer it takes in probate mean bigger inheritance?

And his bill is paid in full. Another question is a lawyer suppose to submit a bill of charges for work he claimed he did but instead he is driving out to my house demanding 1,600 for a lot of work he did and I’ve asked for bill he will not send one. Aren’t lawyer suppose to send a bill by mail giving at least 30 days to pay it ?
