Wrongful Pr Removal Steps
Summary
If you believe you were wrongly removed as a Personal Representative (PR) for an estate in Maryland, review the court order to understand the reasons for your removal. You can file a motion to contest the decision and gather evidence supporting your position. Consulting with an estate attorney is advisable for specific advice and representation. If the Orphans Court refuses to reconsider within the 30-day challenge period, consider filing an appeal in a higher court. A court-appointed PR can be held liable for mismanagement, and actions like replacing locks or arranging unnecessary appraisals should be documented. If a judge authorizes a new PR to select a different realtor, it might protect the estate from liability. Consider consulting an attorney for guidance on these matters.Full Conversation
