Collection Lawsuits: Collection Jurisdiction

lundi 16 février 2015

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California??



I am living in California and an heir to an undivided one half interest in real property in California. The other heir was my cousin who died just before the probate court released the property to us, therefore my late cousin's estate has the other half. The only heirs to my deceased cousin's estate are his two daughters, one living in CA, the other in Washington state. My cousin's estate administrator is a member of my cousin's ex-wife's family, living in Florida.



The administrator in FL has been receiving rents by mail from tenants on the California property for more that two years, amounting to several thousands of dollars. I have sent several demand letters for my half share of the rents with absolutely no reply or payment of the portion of the rents due me. The daughters refuse to discuss the matter.

:wallbang:

Is their retention of the funds due me considered criminal (theft, embezzlement, fraud, or?) and what state would have jurisdiction? I believe I could go to Small Claims Court in CA however I have been told I would have little chance of receiving the funds due since the daughters have little or no tangible assets. The administrator has substantial assets.



Questions: Applicable criminal code, if any? Jurisdiction? Responsibility (daughters, administrator, all)?
