What kind of lawyer specializes with estates and estate distribution?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If you are an heir or beneficiary, the probate lawyer has no obligation or right to share information with you.  You can see a copy of everything filed with the court by contacting the clerk of the probate court.  Many counties have these documents on line.  Please keep in mind that estates often are not distributed for over a year to allow for payment of the final federal income taxes and any other creditors.

Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Usually, only the signed Will would be valid and paid attention to. However, if there was fraud or some other special circumstances then other documents like the unsigned Will could become important.

Can we force the land to be divided?

Rudolf Jon Karvay
Answered by attorney Rudolf Jon Karvay (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Berkman, Henoch, Peterson Peddy, P.C.
If the parcel can be divided into four equal shares, the court may order a physical partition. The partition proceeding would be started by a filing with the court.
