Michael B Bibla & Associates - Huntington Station, New York

Poochie C.

Bibla fed misinformation to my mother to the effect of that, as estate executor, she should give out little-to-nothing of a partially sold estate while a drawn-out legal contest of the will goes on (as of this writing), on the premise of expected taxes and legal fees; this is while another part of the estate generates likely more than enough money to cover legal fees, and the taxes will only be some single-digit percent of the estate, the latter of which he didn't know and I found out within a few minutes of Googling.

I first tried calling him to civilly discuss the matter, he quickly said that he had to attend to something else and would call me back; he never did and didn't apologize when I called him days later: strike one. That second conversation, he told me that the heirs can stand to wait a bit longer for a share of their inheritance (as if it's his place to say that, barely knowing most of us). To this, I nicely tried explaining the financial limbo period where I'm having to move off another part of the estate where my inheritance is coming from without yet having my inheritance, and if he could find the relevant estate tax law and tell my mother about what that would be. He told me in effect that it's my grandpa's money, not mine, and thus I can just wait to get it (the nerve of this guy!).

About that tax law information, the kind of thing he's paid to know and I found out in a few minutes? He has yet to tell the information to my mother, as of this writing. It became clear to me that this guy either didn't like me due to someone else's earlier characterization of me that I don't know about, or that he's jealous of heirs to large estates... or both. In any case, he was rude when I was polite, and bad at his job.
