Mara represented to the Orange County Probate Court that we (beneficiaries of deceased) were "unresponsive" to a letter that she admitted to never having actually sent to us. The court returned Mara's probate filings twice due to inaccuracies and improper language. Mara was unresponsive for weeks to the Court's first letter of requirements for corrections until we brought them to her attention. She claimed that the court never mailed the county's observations to her, though the court's replies were immediately posted on the county website. The resulting delays created more unnecessary expenses for the estate. Despite our urging, it took over 9 months to publish the the notice to creditors, longer to file the death certificate. After waiting six weeks, trusting her, we had to locate and file a receipt to the court for her ourselves. Mara insisted that hers is regarded as "Professional" performance. We can provide documentation supporting our assertions.
