What does it mean by ''A document purporting to be the Last Will and Testament'' of a deceased person, when there was no known actual "Will" in existence prior to the persons demise.
If you have questions regarding probate pleadings, you should have an attorney who practices in the field of probate review the pleadings. If you sign the Waiver, you will waive your right to notice of the proceedings and a hearing. Often, Waivers are used to expedite the probate process. The Last Will and Testament of a decedent is required to be deposited with the Clerk of the COurt within 10 days after the decedent's passing. Therefore, if the proceedings are testate, meaning the decedent had a Will; the Will should be on file with the Clerk. Additionally, a copy of the Will is typically sent to beneficiaries with the Petition for Administration or Summary Administration. Astrid de Parry, P.A.
