Already Tried:
My sister knew that the things she sold were mine and she sold them anyway and I didnt even know about the sale until a month afterwards.and they now say I cant prove they were mine so too bad, I have pictures of them in my home before I stored them at my Dads but they just blew me off.I thought the attourny hired for the probate was to represent all 3 sibelings intrests in this difficult time but he refuses to talk to my other sister and I and when asked questions he ignores you and says lets move on.

Answer
Thanks for your question.You should contact the administrator here that these are not items belonging to the estate.And you certainly need to remove the items here to protect them from sale.
Definitely put this in writen notice and advise you will hold administrator and estatate liable if such items are wrongfully sold here,They are not part of the estate and cannto leggally be sold.

We werent told about the auction sale until after the fact my things are gone now what do I do. The lawyer said to just suck it up and deal with it. and now she is forceing a property sale on a 7 day notice . I need at least 30 days or more to find financing for the family farm.this has been in the family for 120 years it was homesteaded by my Great Great Grandparents. This is only 80 acres and the proposed split is grossly unfair. 37 1/2 acres to me , 37 1/2 acres to the sister who is serving as admin. and 5 acres to my sister with the old house that is falling down.I objected to the split as un fair and requested a fair split ,we were given seven days to eather accept or decline. I am willing to give my split to my younger sister so she can finance the ammount needed to sattisy the outstanding debt on the land but we cant do this in 7 days.Now she says I cant give my part to my sister . the house and 5 acres isnt worth the price she would have to borrow and she needs my share also to pull the loan.Can we get a legal extention for this tranaction to take place or are we just as her lawyer said screwed. its only $15,000 each share and I feel I should be allowed to give my younger sister my share to sattisy the bank if I want.Its not about the money but trying to keep the farm in the family for future generations.
Accepted Answer
You may need your own lawyer here.You can file a claim here through your lawyer for anything the estate sold here and seek compensation.You are getting railroaded here and your own lawyer may contest all of this and seek a more fair resolution.You have rights as an heir here and should assert them through your lawyer and the probate court.
