The Executor and his attorney are paying themself, while the rest of us are going broke paying for the funeral and taxes. The Executor stole property out of the house, and there is not anything we can do. Unbelieveable! Probate in North Caroline is legalized crime for some people.

I am sure though that in time....the people who do such as this will be held accountable for their "good/evil deeds" which have been done on the sly.....judgement day will be right around the bend....

I have never seen an estate settled quite the way it is in NC. I cannot believe a deceitful executrix is able to get away with telling probate one thing and probate does not even check to see if everything adds up. The executrix before her mom's death, as POA, removed all monies from the mom's savings account in order to establish an account in her own name. There is an unpaid nursing home bill in the amount of close to $7K. Before her mom's death, her mom's house was put into her name as well. The house is going to her in the will anyway. However, I would believe that to be an asset and if need be to use that for part of the final expenses. I am disappointed in the PROBATE COURT proceedings in NC for letting the deceitful to get away with that type of thing. And, that is my story, -Mary I tend to agree with you.

Anyway....in 2003 a mediation was held....yes...it took over 2 years for the attorneys to get a mediation lined up...and this was held and the attorneys and mediator then victimized my elderly aunt again and forced her to settle on a mere amount for the extortion of her property....she was forced to accept 2 paymts....one of which was paid right away.....she died before the 2nd payment came due...and the younger sibling and her family refused to make the 2nd payment...and stirred so much stink and lies since the will did not appoint the sibling as administrator and she was not able to take everything over.....believe it or not....the estate office appointed another attorney to oversee this...there were bills which were owed under $1200....and the attorney hired another attorney to get a deed of the homeplace property overturned and bring it back into the estate but they did not even go after the 5 acres of land that was extorted from this elderly woman....the estate has still not been settled....and the attorney appointed to oversee the estate has refused to reimburse the expenses which were paid on behalf of the woman...so anything goes in NC....just be a bully and aggravate the poop out of someone until you get your way.....I know that this works...it does not matter if it is legal or not....attorneys do not have to be held accountable for anything that they do...and the strange thing is ......these people can get by with it.... That's my story and I'm sticking to it.... Margaret Lawson In North Carolina….anything goes…if you have someone who wants to stir up trouble…..watch out….because any one person can tell all sorts of lies and get by with this….My dear aunt passed back in 2004 and I was her power of attorney….she was not in good health…..she had actually lived a life of hell since 2001…when her only brother died….and the younger sibling and her family extorted 5 acres of land from her….which was then taked over by an attorney who told her that he would get the property back for her for $3000…..only if this money was paid by 5 o’clock the day she talked to him about this….and the attorney also told her he would only be “doing this for the sake of her brother” whom the attorney knew….
