My brother was appointed as executor of my father’s estate in 1993. Recently, I learned that assets are still in my dad’s name and the estate was never settled. I have asked for a complete accounting from my brother and he never complied. I just learned that he transferred my father’s house to my mother’s (ex wife from before he died) in 2002. I suspect he never filed tax returns as well as satisfying a loan of $110,000 made to him and his business partner a year before my father’s death. I have a copy of the note for the loan which my brother states is still active. The will stated all of my father’s assets should be split equally between the 3 siblings. Please advise.
You need an attorney who knows this area of the law. Perhaps that attorney would utilize the Surrogate's to direct your brother to file an Accounting Proceeding with the Court. That would start the ball rolling.
