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.

How can I make sure that I would not lose my mother’s property?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Assuming mother did not have a will, you can file heirship affidavits and deeds to re-title the property to your name. You can then pay taxes and keep the property. You will need a probate lawyer and/or a title company to assist you.

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

Jonathan W. Barlow
Answered by attorney Jonathan W. Barlow
Estate Planning lawyer at Clear Counsel Law Group
If you, as the Administrator, are represented by an attorney then your attorney should properly advise you about your duties. If you feel like your attorney has not properly advised you, you should feel free to contact your attorney and express that you are feeling unsure about your duties and responsibilities as Administrator. If you are still not satisfied after speaking with your attorney, you might be well-served to consult with another attorney. Unfortunately, some attorneys advertise that they practice probate law, when the reality is that they do so very infrequently and are not as familiar with probate law as they should be. You should ensure that your probate attorney is experienced in probate law and that probate is a main practice area, not just an occasional practice area. If you are not represented by an attorney, you are responsible to understand your duties and responsibilities on your own. In Clark County, Nevada, the Court will not provide you with any documents or forms describing your duties. Title 12 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (Chapters 132-156) governs probate law and procedure in Nevada. You should review and become familiar with the requirements of these Chapters, though this may be a daunting task for a non-attorney. Accepting the position of Administrator requires you to perform your duties properly, whether you are represented by an attorney or not. If you fail to perform your duties properly, you could subject yourself to personal liability for any harm caused to the estate. Though it is possible to perform your role as Administrator without an attorney, you would be well-served to retain an experienced probate attorney who will help you understand your duties and responsibilities and will ensure that the probate administration is performed properly and quickly.
