Divorce Decree/No cooperation
I have a divorce decree. Wife is to receive funds from refinance of residence. Wife must sign quit claim deed prior to closing refinance loan, which frees up money to be granted to her according to the decree.

Problem: Neither she, nor her attorney will respond to ANY of my inquiries about the matter. I’ve relieved my attorney of her duties. All that is needed is simple compliance with decree directives. I have 60 days to comply with orders, but cannot get needed cooperation, i.e., signature.

I’ve sent emails, certified letters, phone calls, contacted the judge’s office to no avail.

What can be done? I’m hamstrung.

Executor of Parents’ Estate
My sister was diagnosed this summer with a stage 4, inoperable brain tumor that has impaired her visual, motor and reasoning capacity, especially after a recent round of treatment. She is named executor of our parents’ estate (they are very elderly but still living independently). I am named second ”alternate” in their power of attorneys, wills and living wills. She seems reluctant to hand over executor to me although it is apparent that she will not be able to fulfill her responsiblities. My concern is the length of time it would take to have her declared incompetent should something drastic happen to my elderly parents and a decision be made immediately. What is the process and approximately how long does it take to go through this process?
