[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No advice, but empathy here. I have a relative who is an executor for a grandparent’s estate who has almost finished the estate, but still has one large account just sitting for over 5 years.  Cousins have asked him to distribute it, but he just ignores all communications. One cousin has said that she thinks he’s hoping the rest of us will forget about it and he’ll just take it for himself.

So at least your brother’s lack of action is mainly harming him, not you.

5 years is too long. The other cousins need to hire a lawyer. [/quote]

Yes, you’re right that it is too long. One of us talked to a lawyer to get an idea of how to approach this. Unfortunately, the expense of the lawyer is not worth the amount we’d all be getting when this account is distributed. So for now we just keep sending emails. None of us *need* the money, but it would certainly be nice to have.

We’ve actually wondered out loud if the executor could be charged with theft if he just up and takes the money out of the account and keeps it for himself.
