My mom has approxiamately $2,000,000. It will be divided equally between the 3 of her kids. Will we go to probate? Do you have any advice for us going forward? Thank you for your time, Joe Zierer
Probate only means to prove or validate the will. What you do after that is up to you. If you have the original will and the original death certificate, go to the county probate clerk in the county in which your mother lived at the time of her death. They will assist you with probating the will. it is VERY easy and you will not require an attorney for proabte. After you have admitted the will to probate, you will have to administer the estate - that will involve locating and liquidating assets, paying final bills, etc. If you need assistance with all of that, please call my office.
