If a estate administrator removes estate property for his own use and profit and the lawyer representing the estate does nothing who's responsible to prosecute.?
"who's responsible to prosecute?" Do you mean: what government official would be involved in seeking criminal penalties against the estate administrator and/or the lawyer? As it says at the beginning of each "Law and Order" episode: the police would investigate and if sufficient evidence were found, the prosecutor/district attorney would handle a criminal prosecution. Do you mean: who should a beneficiary contact if he/she suspects that the estate administrator has removed estate property for his own use? The beneficiary must file an objection with the probate court. Generally speaking, this would involve hiring an attorney with probate experience to handle the matter. Do you mean: if a person who is not a beneficiary and he/she suspects that the estate administrator has removed estate property for his own use, what should they do? Two alternatives, are the beneficiaries competent adults? If so, report your the evidence to the beneficiaries - it's their call, not yours, what to do with the info. If they aren't, for example, young children, mentally handicapped, report your evidence to the probate court. WARNING - accusing people of a crime is a serious business and can get you sued or worse. DON"T - say "Bob stole Grandma's car from the estate." DO - say "I saw you driving what looked like Grandma's car in Centerburg and it is now parked in your driveway, please explain this for me?"
