This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form.
Dear [Probate Court], I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the probate of the will of [Name], deceased on [Date], and to request the appointment of co-executrixes and the issuance of letters testamentary, in accordance with the laws of South Dakota. As per the provisions outlined in South Dakota's probate code [insert relevant code numbers], I, as a concerned party and interested party to the estate, believe there have been significant irregularities and violations in the probate process of the aforementioned will. Firstly, I would like to address the lack of transparency and communication from the current sole executrix, [Executrix's Name]. Since the initiation of the probate process, I have experienced substantial difficulty in obtaining any information regarding the administration of the estate. Despite making numerous attempts to gather updates, my requests for information have been systematically ignored or met with vague and dismissive responses. This lack of communication has hindered our ability to properly validate the executor's actions and ensure that the decedent's wishes are being fulfilled. Furthermore, I must express concerns regarding the executrix's ability to carry out her duties effectively. My observations and conversations with other interested parties have revealed instances of mismanagement and potential conflict of interest. It has come to my attention that the executrix, knowingly or unknowingly, neglected her fiduciary responsibility by disregarding the decedent's outlined wishes and personal wishes conveyed during discussions prior to their passing. This disregard raises doubts about her ability to act in the best interest of the estate and all beneficiaries. Moreover, it has become evident that the complexity of the estate's financial affairs necessitates the appointment of co-executrixes. Given the extensive assets, outstanding debts, and potential disputes among beneficiaries, the involvement of multiple executors will provide a balanced and impartial approach to the administration of the estate. By appointing co-executrixes, we can ensure that there is a system of checks and balances, minimizing any risk of impropriety. In light of the aforementioned concerns and circumstances, I kindly request that this matter be thoroughly investigated by the probate court to ascertain the accuracy of my claims. If deemed necessary, I request that new co-executrixes be appointed to ensure the proper administration of the estate. Additionally, I humbly request the issuance of letters testamentary to the newly appointed co-executrixes, granting them the legal authority to handle all matters related to the decedent's estate. I trust that the probate court will take immediate action and conduct a fair investigation to protect the rights and interests of all beneficiaries involved. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
