What kind of lawyer specializes with estates and estate distribution?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If you are an heir or beneficiary, the probate lawyer has no obligation or right to share information with you.  You can see a copy of everything filed with the court by contacting the clerk of the probate court.  Many counties have these documents on line.  Please keep in mind that estates often are not distributed for over a year to allow for payment of the final federal income taxes and any other creditors.

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

A person can act on their own behalf and prepare their own will, but it is not advisable because, if not prepare correctly, then there intentions will not be carried out, because the will was defective. I recently probated a case that had just that problem; form will obtained from stationary store not prepared correctly. I am a believer, you get what you pay for in life; pay nothing get nothing. But it is your right to represent yourself.
