where in civil law can a plantiff find relief when a disabled
plantiff's civil rights have been violated?

Hello icky-ga,

I should emphasize the disclaimer at the bottom of this page, which
indicates that answers and comments on Google Answers are general
information, and not intended to substitute for informed professional
legal advice.  In other words, this is only the results of my
research, not a legal opinion.  If you need legal advice, you should
contact a lawyer admitted to practice in New York State.

There is a chapter of the New York State Consolidated Laws entitled
"Estates, Powers, and Trusts" ( http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?cl=38
).  In that chapter, a "personal representative" is defined as "a
person who has received letters to administer the estate of a
decedent".  So, that appears to be the "executor" you are referring
to.  Another part of that chapter provides for suits against a
personal representative.  My impression is that this is the part you
are interested in -- though again, a lawyer can give you a
professional opinion.

If you care to provide a little bit more detail about how you were
wronged or what you hope to achieve, you may want to post your query
on some free legal advice websites:  www.freeadvice.com and
www.lawguru.com (in lawguru.com the question is sorted according to
what state it comes from and if you mention what county you live in in
your posting, you are much more likely to get a response from a
qualified attorney in your area).  However, the same result could be
achieved by consulting with a local probate attorney in your area.
