Pennsylvania Inheritance Demands When Executor Does Not Respond

From our “Ask a Question” Mailbag: Pennsylvania Inheritance Demands When Executor Does Not Respond

Most Recently Updated July 8, 2018

“My Grandmother died three years ago in Philadelphia 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?”

Pennsylvania Inheritance Demands When Executor Does Not Respond

Pennsylvania Inheritance Demands When Executor Does Not Respond

As the heir of a Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia Orphans’ Court lawyer file a Petition for Accounting with the Philadelphia 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.

What Happens if the Executor Then Gives Me My Inheritance?

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

      Recently hired this firm to help me write a will (something I had been procrastinating on doing for too long). The process was quick, easy, painless and I'm glad that thanks to the great team at this firm I was able to cross this off my "to do" list!!

      Our experience with Klenk Law has been exceptional. We’ve had help with estate planning and pre-nuptial agreements. They really take the time to explain everything and let us know our options. All of the staff are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They are very prompt with responding to calls and messages. We will continue to use them and recommend to friends and family.

      Klenk was efficient and professional in designing and executing the necessary documents for my trust, will and associated paperwork after my moving to pa from out of state. This allowed an inherently unpleasant responsibility to be completed with minimal agony and diligence. His web site further enables executed document update and distribution with minimal fuss.
