    Default Rights of Heirs to Accounting in Pennsylvania

    My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Pennsylvania

    I'm executor of my father's estate. I'm ready to close the estate. He is an heir to his mother's estate, who passed away 3+ years ago. I understand that my father's estate will get his share from his mother's estate.

    However, my uncle, who is executor for my grandmother's estate, and his attorney will not respond to my requests for accounting. I've been waiting several months. The only thing filed with the court is an initial inventory of assets. How do I petition the court to recieve copies of the accounting? Can I petition the court to make them close her estate?

    I can't afford an attorney so any help is appreciated.

    Do you have the right to demand that the executor and attorney for the estate prepare an accounting any time you demand one? No.

    Why has it taken three years to probate the estate? Has a final distribution been proposed?

    If you don't believe the executor is doing an adequate job with the estate you may bring a motion to have the executor replaced.
