Estate Planning lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
The heirs will have to file a probate case in Kentucky and have the court determine who are the heirs of the deceased great grandfather and further determine who are the surviving heirs of the deceased survivors of the great grandfather. The surviving heirs would then have to reach agreement as to the disposition of the 100 acres and there would have to be a conveyance or conveyances from the administrator of the estate to those entitled to share in the great grandfather's property and they would have to participate in the sale of the acreage. The proceeds of sale would then be divided based on the pro-rata shares of the great grandchildren. This complex problem could have been avoided if there had been some estate planning done by your great grandfather and his children.

We're not really allowed to discuss "normal" charges, that would be price-fixing and not legal. We'd have to know what the "papers" are, but it sounds like a petition to bring auntie into court, so the amount doesn't seem out of line. Ask for the itemized account it's not unreasonable, since you don't want to spend more money than will eventually be recovered from auntie.
