Do I need a Lawyer?
DO I NEED A LAWYER?
While
there is no requirement to use a lawyer, probate is a rather formal
procedure. One minor omission, one failure to send Great Aunt Tillie a
copy of the petition, or a missed deadline, can cause everything to
come to a grinding halt or expose everyone to liability.
The
death of a family member or friend sometimes tends to bring out the
very worst in some people. Experience shows that even in close families
there is a tendency to get overly emotional about relatively trivial
matters at the time of a loved one's death, such as who gets the iron
frying pan and who gets the kettle. Such minor matters, or any delays
or inconveniences can be upsetting, pose issues of fairness, and create
unfounded suspicion among family members. Thus it generally is a very
good idea to "let a lawyer do it".
Y.M.B and Associates can guide you in the right direction in finding the right lawyer for the concerns at hand.
