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

William H Nebeker
Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
Yes she can. As long as she meets the criteria to execute a valid will. We can supply a generic form or you can get a simple form and execute herself if she is capable. Otherwise we do Wills and Trusts for dirt cheap rates and will even counsel what to do if you still want to draft it. Always helps to have an experienced hand in the process, call or email to discuss further.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
In California, a will must be probated unless the probatable estate is small enough, under $150,000, to be distributed pursuant to a declaration procedure. The "probatable estate" does not include property held in joint tenancy or which passes to a designated beneficiary (e.g., life insurance) or pursuant to a "pay on death" arrangement with a financial institution. Probate is usually necessary when there is real property standing only in the name of the decedent. If probated, there is a creditor claim procedure which determines which, if any, creditors get paid and how much. Yes, it is common practice to have an attorney represent the personal representative and the estate in a probate case.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Yes but if the wife decides to hire a lawyer and file a petition that competes with the child's petition, the wife will get the administration as she has priority.
