What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Hire a lawyer to file a petition for probate and assist with the estate administration. This should be in the state of his domicile (permanent residence). Additional probate administrations may be necessary in states where he owned real property. Did he leave a will? If so, it probably nominates an executor. If not, then his wife has priority to serve as administrator, but if she does not want to do so, or if she doesn't act within a month, then one of his children can file the petition.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney Gerald A Bagazinski (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gerald A. Bagazinski
Even if you want to do this yourself, you should seek the advice of an attorney. It is very important to understand your duties because if you fail the court can surcharge you for any deficiency. SCAO form 573 must be sent to the beneficiaries. This form sets forth notice of your appointment and your duties.

Is an un-notarized will valid?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It is not necessary that a will be notarized; it is CRUCIAL that it be witnessed by two people, who both are in the room and see the testator (and each other) as the will is signed. If there is no affidavit of witnesses to the will (which is the piece that gets notarized) then at least one of the witnesses must be available to come into court and testify that he or she witnessed testator signing the will.
