Case study

A recalcitrant heir refused to cooperate with the executor so a process server was needed to serve him with legal papers. The heir repeatedly avoided the process server. We successfully persuaded the court to permit an alternate method of serving the uncooperative heir. The executor was quickly appointed and able to administer the estate. 

Takeaway: Having an experienced attorney can help the client get past unforeseen roadblocks.
