When my grandmother passed, does the shares go solely to my aunt or are my mom’s children entitled to her half?

You can forget about the notarized letter as it is not legally sufficient to act as a Will. However, according to the facts you set forth your Mother's children would be entitled to half.

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

Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
Creditors can collect after a person's death-they generally must file a creditor's claim against the estate within a certain period of publication of a notice by the executor. Specific rules will apply to secured debts like home loans. A will does not necessarily have to be probated-if a person wants to begin the 90-day period in which a creditor must file a claim or lose the claim, the will must be probated and a personal representative/executor must be appointed. A lawyer is not necessary but can provide great value in the administration process. Kind regards, Geoff N. Germane

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

Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
Wills have very specific execution requirements and a Will which is not signed will almost certainly not be admitted to probate.
