Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
I am sorry for your loss. Whether his estate will be probated at all will depend on the following factors: 1. What was the nature and title of his property. 2. The terms of his Last Will. This is where he would have nominated an executor. 3. His home state of residence. For additional information, consult with an attorney specializing in estate administration.
