I need some advice ! my mom past away last January. She had a will but the person she listed as executor was not able to be located, So I got in touch with the attorney she used to write the will . He mentioned doing a monument of title. Since everyone involved got along. I agreed and paid him the $1700 dollars to take care of it . We went to court the end of February. ( he had another attorney show up he was not able to make it), the judge was kinda Leary of how fast it was moving. We left with some paperwork and confused. And was told to set up appointment when we had everything settled.
My mom did not have any money , other than her house and mineral rights for land that she used to own .
Things have drug out because of red tape with transferring mineral rights .
Was not able to sell house at a fair price in the condition it was in .
Plus having problems with some of the paper work because one of the beneficiaries is a crack head .
The estate was left to 50% to me
25% to a nephew
25% to crack head nephew
Know one is fighting but One is dragging his feet.
I decided to fix the house up to sale it understanding that it was all on me .
Well I just got a letter from the Attorney that he was charging me $500 dollars for two more hours of work which I feel like he has not done a dam thing really.
I asked him what he had done to earn the extra money. He said he would send a invoice but it just says two hours .
I feel like I have to end this but don’t know what to do.

Y’all didn’t use Dewey, Cheatham & Howe did you?
