Message: <blockquote data-quote="JohnRTroy" data-source="post: 8281857" data-attributes="member: 2732">Basically, discovery is a process in the legal term that means each side asks questions and the other side must answer those questions.  What happened is the motion to compel means that one side (Luke and his siblings) were not providing answers to the other side's questions in time.  The judge granting a motion to compel means that the judge feels that the plaintiff was not being cooperative enough, as you normally don't have to force a compel motion.When it comes to the executor, the court is trying to figure it out.  It sounds like Luke's attorney is stepping down.  One of the issues is on both Wills (see my quote from Luke Gygax above in the thread), Gail is executor in both Wills.  While it's a bit hard to follow, I think the court now wants a neutral party to be involved to figure things out.   Assets could mean what is listed on the Will itself, and "lack of assets" could be things like a house or major properties.Honestly, when it comes to the IP--I don't even think this is about that.  Based on what I've read online from various communications made on social media and elsewhere -- this is about money.  I suspect if the Will is changed, Luke and his siblings will be allowed to get a percentage of anything Gail makes, which is likely relevant in two areas -- if Gail sells old collectables they could get some of that money, or maybe they want some of the money from the DeSanto agreement or anything if DeSanto is successful in doing something with the property.  I highly doubt control of the actual IP will change at all.</blockquote>
