In this vlog, Shawna Brown, an attorney in the Elder Law Department at Mandelbaum Barrett PC, shares valuable insights on executor responsibilities, inspired by a recent high-profile probate case involving the estate of rock ‘n’ roll legend Little Richard.
Shawna discusses how Little Richard’s brother, acting as an executor, failed to follow the terms of the will, leading to legal battles and his removal as both executor and beneficiary. While this case involved intellectual property and celebrity wealth, the lessons apply to families of all backgrounds.
Whether it’s mishandling the sale of a family home or failing to honor a loved one’s wishes for a business, executor misconduct can have serious consequences. Shawna explains how the team at Mandelbaum Barrett PC can help beneficiaries or executors navigate these challenges—whether through negotiation or litigation—and ensure estates are managed according to the law and the deceased’s wishes.
