I had my car parked when this man hit my car and ran away. I believe the police caught him, but now my car is totaled. I don’t have the money to buy a new one and my insurance won’t cover the costs. Can I take this man to court for damaging my property? Their car was stolen.

If the executor named in a will does not open a probate in a reasonable time, any other interested party can. As the decedent's child, you are an interested party and you can hire an attorney to start a probate.
