What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
I'm sorry to hear about your father. A personal representative is not appointed by a probate court automatically you have to apply. The first step is to determine the assets and liabilities of the estate. Then you can choose which probate procedure to apply.

Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Depending on how things were set up, there may or may not be a Will and even if there is one, there may be no assets to pass under the Will. A Will covers only those assets that are in the decedent's name alone. Any assets that were jointly held or that have a designated beneficiary, pass outside of probate and outside the control of any Will. So finding the Will will not help you, if the assets were set up in such a way as to avoid probate.
