Hi De'Andre'! What legal issue are you facing? I'm here to help.
A trustee was given 30 days by the court to complete an appraisal of property to be negotiated over during mediation * weeks later. They did not have the land appraised and have not indicated that they have plans to.

Hi De'Andre', I understand your concern. The requirement to give the opposing party a chance to comply is generally to show that you have made a good faith effort before involving the court. It’s not necessarily enabling but ensuring that all reasonable steps have been taken.

in that case, would it have been best practice to notify the opposing party of your concerns before the end of their 30 day period? Or would it still have been best to wait until they missed their deadline again

could you show me want an email for this could look like? With the added awareness that the trustee has a personality style that results in them twisting narratives, manufacturing events, and weaponizing honesty?
