WHAT IS A PROBATE ATTORNEY & DO I NEED ONE

This probate is basically a legal process that is practiced to decide a person’s personal affairs after his or her demise. A probate attorney helps a person settle all his or her debts and manage the assets by having a proper will.

IN A CASE, IF HE OR SHE HAS ALREADY DRAFTED A WILL

If it’s the condition, then a probate lawyer might be hired to suggest the parties like the administrator of the estate and beneficiaries about the legal matters rightly. Chances are, a probate lawyer may have a check with the will to ensure that the will is written and signed with the person’s own consent and not under threat

IN A CASE, IF HE OR SHE HAS NOT DRAFTED A WILL

Well, if a person dies without having a will, then one is considered to be died intestate. In such a case, the property and assets are divided as per the laws of the place where the property is situated. If one was married, then another living spouse is going to get all of the intestate property as per the law.

Before hiring a probate attorney , ask

yourself a few questions to decide –

• Know if the state in which you are residing has an easy or complex probate process.

• See if the people involved in a will together are with one another or not.

• See if the money is adequate to pay debts or not

• Know what type of property is in the estate

• Ask yourself if the estate can be distributed without probate or not

It is recommended to choose the one who is experienced and skilled enough to manage your probate case with the utmost efficiency. Just make sure to check with his or her testimonials and client reviews, too, before making any final decision
