QUESTION

Estates held between states

Asked on Mar 14th, 2021 on Wills and Probate - North Carolina
More details to this question:
I am the administrator of a deceased relative whose assets are in another state. Even though for the past 5 years I have waited for both state lawyers to transfer the estate from one to the other, when I asked my lawyer if there had been a court filing in either state, the answer was, "No." Am I being too patient, or just played?

It is difficult to understand why the estate has not been submitted for probate in the state of the person who died and, following that, an auxiliary administration opened in the other state where he owned real property.  The passage of time has foreclosed some options.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
