I’m an heir in a probate case nearing four years. My former attorney abandoned me before an evidentiary hearing, forcing me to file pro se. The removed attorney was still allowed to file against me and request a Level * security block. Since then, the clerk has repeatedly withheld or delayed docketing my filings, including an emergency continuance that appeared ten days late and caused a $*,* loss tied to altered valuations. The judge denied my change‑of‑judge by right, cut me off when I raised concerns about an unlicensed individual filing under a deceased attorney’s bar number, then dismissed only me and held an ex parte meeting. The PR hired someone off Craigslist to follow my family. Now I’ve discovered Lot *’s dilapidated house appears merged into a different parcel, and the clerk—also the Recorder—is blocking access to land records. I need to know my options.
This situation involves complex legal and procedural issues. Here are some general options to consider:
- File Complaints: Report judicial misconduct to the Missouri Commission on Retirement, Removal, and Discipline. Complaints about the clerk’s actions can go to their supervisor or a higher court.
- Seek Appeal: If procedural errors or improper rulings occurred, you may appeal to a higher court within the allowed timeframe.
- Request Records: If access to public records is blocked, you can file a formal request under Missouri’s Sunshine Law.
- Address Attorney Misconduct: Report the unlicensed practice or any misconduct by attorneys to the Missouri Bar or Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel.
- Hire a New Attorney: If possible, consider retaining a probate or litigation lawyer to help address these issues.
- Land Records Issue: Consult a real estate attorney to investigate the parcel merger and any irregularities involving Lot *.
