QUESTION
Can I break into my mothers home to get my things?
Asked on Dec 04th, 2020 on Wills and Probate - Michigan
More details to this question:
My mother passed May 2019, my eldest brother who is unstable, aggressive is her personal representative. He changed the locks and hasn't given me access to go into the house to pick up my things. Her home is under contract and will be closing per the sale soon (I am 1/3 owner of the home per her will) After several months of requests to pick up my things with no response, can I break in to pick up my things? He's impossible to work with and only loves the control, I'm at a loss. My attorney is beyond incapable and productive. Please help!

Please do not put yourself in a position to be arrested for breaking and entering. Sue the personal representative for conversion (converting your things to the estate's property) in small claims/justice of the peace court and ask the sheriff to accompany you to enforce the judgment.
