What can we do if our lawyer is telling us to waive our mother rights to our late brother's estate or get another lawyer?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
There's a lot unsaid in your question. It sounds like the lawyer may have a conflict of interest, and has properly disclosed this to you. But you don't say why you are asked to do anything on your mother's behalf is she incapacitated? Do you have power of attorney? I will say that if I had a client who doesn't like my advice, I would prefer that they talk to another lawyer. I can't be the right lawyer for everybody in the world; sometimes it's best to get a second opinion.

Is it necessary to have an attorney to do last will and testament?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Yes, you can do a Will by yourself. It is hard to get it right unless you do a fair amount of work to learn the rules.

Hi, can i claim my deceased grandfathers funds even though my dad is alive?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Assuming that both grandparents are deceased, their children are the heirs, not you.  When your father dies, you may make a claim.
