Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina
Heir listed in will to part of estate
Once the courts have decided an estate is free to be divided to heirs and orders distribution, how do I force the executor to comply without a major legal battle? Is it a criminal offense not to comply with the court? Would it constitute any form of ''theft'' keeping what doesn't legally belong to the executor?
