Secure Your Estate And Protect Your Rights - Questions For A Probate Attorney
Tracy Roberts
Losing a loved one is bound to be one of the most difficult times of anyone's life, and that grief can often be compounded by the feeling of being overwhelmed by the legal responsibilities involved in the probate process. If your loved one died without a will or if that will is being challenged, it's important that you're able to fight for their wishes and your rights.
Unfortunately, many people are unfamiliar with the process and therefore unsure where they can even begin. Knowing the right questions to ask is the right place to start, and the guide below should help illuminate the process and set you on the right path to successfully navigating these difficult waters.
Ask About Unbundled Services
For some people, the probate process may be more a formality than a contentious engagement, and there may be a reluctance to hire a full time attorney. Thankfully, many probate lawyers are willing to offer merely a selection of their services at a lower price point than may be expected with full representation.
If there's little to no contestation in the probate case you're involved in and you find yourself primarily faced with filling out forms, your probate attorney can come to an agreement that will allow he or she to appear merely for instances in front of a judge or other complicated matters. This will provide you with substantial savings and secure the estate being overseen.
Ask About Vital Documents
In any probate case, there are some documents which are absolutely essential and go right to the core of the issues involved. Any existing will, real estate and real property deeds, inventories of personal properties, and professional appraisals all play an important role in settling the ultimate financial endpoint of a given estate.
Make sure that you ask your attorney about the location of those documents and about who is expected to keep and hold them. In some cases, you may find small but important items which have been overlooked, allowing you to secure the process sooner rather than later.
Ask About Progress
Ultimately, most probate clients are most interested in when a case will conclude. Not only is the probate process long and complicated, but it can also have the effect of prolonging grief, as it can be hard to let a loved one go until it concludes. Asking your attorney about their timeline can provide you with a great deal of peace of mind in this matter, providing you with the necessary clarity to move forward with confidence.
