What documents should we gather if a dispute develops over an executor delaying probate?

In a probate or estate setting, a beneficiary may be able to request information, ask the probate court to set deadlines, or seek another fiduciary if delay is harming the estate. The rules for probate, trusts, property, and family claims are not uniform nationwide, so a local attorney should check the governing documents and the current court or title record before anyone makes a move that would be difficult to undo. As part of the legal review, the correct remedy depends on whether probate has been opened and why the delay is occurring.
