Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

You are advised to seek probate counsel to assist you in the probate of the estate. Yes creditors can collect after death. Yes a will needs to be probated if there are assets in the estate; lastly, the will must be filed with the court within 30 days after death, in the county of the deceased principal residence.

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

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.
