Estate Agreement Signature Dispute

Summary

Courts may proceed without a signature if urgent decisions are needed and a party is unresponsive. If an estate agreement was nullified due to your absence, review the courts decision and consult a local attorney to understand your rights and explore potential remedies. Ensure you have all relevant documentation and consider legal advice to enforce the agreement or seek compensation.

I made an agreement to act as administrator ad litem with a lawyer on my late father's estate, however, once I made the agreement, the lawyer and courts proceeded without my signature because I was out of the country for * weeks and couldn't sign the document, and so the agreement was nullified by the courts (allegedly), and they aren't holding up their end of the deal because they "couldn't wait" for me to sign the affidavit
Hi Mo! It sounds like a complicated situation. A few questions to understand better:
- Did you receive any official notice about the nullification of the agreement?
- Do you have any documentation showing your agreement with the lawyer?

This will help in determining your next steps.
yes I have the copies of the agreement (i act as administrator ad litem and they pay me $*,*, and any equity from the sale, if applicable).
Thanks for the information, Mo. Given your situation, here are a few points to consider:
- Ensure you have all documentation and correspondence related to the agreement.
- Review the court's decision and reasoning for the nullification.
- Consider reaching out to a legal professional for advice on how to enforce the agreement or seek compensation.

Case Rating: *
Courts generally need proper documentation and signatures for agreements, but they may proceed in cases where urgent decisions are required, especially if you're unresponsive. It might be worthwhile to consult with a local lawyer to understand your rights and possibly challenge the court's decision.
