QUESTION
Brother is extending the Philadelphia probate process
Asked on Sep 08th, 2020 on Wills and Probate - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
Hello, My father passed away last Thanksgiving day in 2019. We are closely approaching about a year now and we have yet to file with the register of wills. My brother continues to slow down the probate process and I'm fearful of losing my fathers core assets (home and bank funds). For weeks now I have been asking him to provide me a copy of a valid driver's license which expired prior to my dad's passing. I'm just so frustrated on basic tasks taking so long with him this is literally the last. Is there anything I can do to push him along? Like a legal letter of some sort?

You can hire a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your father lived and died to demand the Will. Some people are slow about filing because they are grieving. Presenting a Will for probate makes the loss more clearly irretrievable.
