Navigating Family Disputes Over Personal Representative Appointments
What happens if you’re all set to be the personal representative and someone objects? What if your brother and or sister or maybe the stepmom decides that they don’t want you to be the personal representative?
Well then you will have your attorney file the petition and then you will set a date, and you’ll have the hearing. At that hearing, if they still want to contest or they haven’t hired their attorney to contest, you will go before the judge.
Navigating the Probate Hearing Process
Either you’ll have the hearing that day, and the judge will determine who the personal representative is going to be, or in a lot of cases, the judge will set it out to a different day. This allows for testimony and other exhibits to be presented. You would have to be qualified to be the personal representative, and the judge would make the ultimate decision on who he thinks is the most qualified to serve.
