I am the legally appointed executor of the estate. One of the heirs took possession of part of the estate that I believe should have been equally distributed to the other heirs. What can I do to recover that property?

The letterhead may get the job done. If that does not work, an action to have the property declared part of the estate may be necessary. When the person gives you money, the person has an attorney and the attorney has a client, but not until then.

If you are appointed-your attorney can advise you of the proper steps to recover estate property through legal proceedings. The answer given does not imply that an attorney-client relationship has been established and your best course of action is to have legal representation in this matter.

You may need court intervention. Was probate filed ? Our replies to questions should not be considered specific legal advice to any individual, and no attorney-client relationship is formed with you.
