A judge ordered my brother to provide bank statements for my mother's estate from 2012, his attorney's statement for three years of attorney's fees, pay my portion of inheritance plus interest until paid and return any amount over $2000 paid for his legal fees to the estate and distribute to siblings. Instead, there is no documentation for anything yet checks were sent for part. I will be pursuing contempt, Order to Enforce and additional attorney's fees incurred since the Order was filed with a new attorney. I believe I can deposit the checks in hand, even though insufficient, and still pursue. I need to make sure my cashing/depositing doesn't mean I accept and it's all settled. Please advise.
