In this case, I am 99% certain that the accused has nothing of value to his name and there would be no point in pursuing a civil claim against him. The decedent also had very little to her name, though she was solvent. I guess I was thinking that if I had something like the probable cause affidavit to present to ex parte with a noticed hearing, that there would be a good chance that the accused would not even respond to or contest my motion. It sounds though, like maybe I am underestimating the complexity of the process? If the accused did not respond, would the court give me the finding, or could the court nonetheless be unwilling to make such a finding?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you again for your assistance!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
