Executor not providing account documents

My mother recently passed away. My brother obtained a POA after she fell and was in rehab for a month which she felt forced to sign. He also had her sign a change of benificerary form to exclude a sister in 2006 while she was still in the hospital for the head injury and did not know where she was. He was also named executor in the will.

Now I am trying to obtain financial records for bank accounts, IRA & Trust accounts to see where the value of her estate went and how he spent money from those accounts. He had access to everything. I would think he would have to provide receipts for and prove all transactions. He also gave mom's car to his daughter for free and it is part of the will. No grand children are in there. He sold off her property from her house after she moved her into a nursing home on Mother's day (nice guy) and told no one when he did it. She had plenty of money so why sell family heirlooms? The other brother stayed in the house a few months and basically cleaned out the rest and took it to another state. He feels he is above the law and doesn't have to answer to no one. I have asked for documentation for what transpired over the last 3 years and have no response from him.

This is a big wrong that needs to be righted.
None of us know if he took money out of accounts for himself or his kids.:no:
 
File a suit against him. You have standing as potential heirs and you can file "ex rel" as a relative of your Mother on her behalf. If there are assets in the estate an attorney should be willing to take your case fairly cheaply. Good luck.
 
Thans for the reply.

The POA when signed, was witness by 2 people he found walking down the hospital hallway.

If there is any wrong doing found, would they (2 brothers) still get their inheritance?
Could he be relived of his duties? (Unfortunately the second brother is next in line to replace the 1st brother as executor in the will) I read some where the statue of Limitations was 90 days for claims against an estate in NC.

Thanks Again!
