Getting the Executor to Pay Your Bucks County Inheritance

From our “Ask a Question” Mailbag: Getting the Executor to Pay Your Bucks County Inheritance

Most Recently Updated July 10, 2018.

“My Grandmother died three years ago in Bucks County leaving me a lump sum in her Will. The house is sold, the taxes are paid but I have not received my inheritance. The executor will not return my calls, what can I do?”

Getting the Executor to Pay Your Bucks County Inheritance

Getting the Executor to Pay Your Bucks County Inheritance

As the heir of a Bucks County estate, you do have the right to force the Executor to provide you with a time line when you will receive your inheritance.

If the executor will not give you one voluntarily, you can have your Bucks County Orphans’ Court lawyer file a Petition for Accounting with the Bucks County Orphans’ Court. The executor must reply or face potential removal and surcharge.

By filing this petition, your attorney can force the executor to account for every penny and justify every action taken as well as submit a schedule of distribution.

If the executor gives you your inheritance, you can always withdraw the Petition for Accounting.

      I have worked with three different attorneys and law firms over the years, and I can confidently say that attorney Peter Klenk stands out as the most knowledgeable. He created the most thorough wills and trust documents I've ever had. Mr. Klenk took the time to gather all the necessary details about my current situation and goals. As a result, he put together comprehensive documents that I believe will effectively protect my assets and ensure my children's inheritance is secure.
      What truly sets Mr. Klenk apart is his patience and dedication to understanding my questions. He provided detailed explanations that made complex legal concepts much easier to grasp. His team's communication and scheduling were equally impressive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
      Thank you, Mr. Klenk, and your fantastic team, for your exceptional service!
