Why would a probate lawyer call me. He is also a probate judge.

Dear Maine, You'll have to return the phone call of the judge to learn of his reasons for calling.  Really only he can answer your question and without more information, I can't even accurately speculate.  If there is an open Probate matter in which you are a party to, maybe something needed to be clarified, maybe you are being summoned to court....who knows.  Usually though, once becoming judges, lawyers do not actively practice law for conflict of interest reasons, etc....so it's most likely you were contacted regarding a probate matter IF contacted in this individual's professional capacity.....it also could have been a personal call.  Again, you'll have to simply return the call to get the right answer to this one....Your question makes you seem a bit nervous....relax a bit....it wasn't a criminal judge, so hopefully there's nothing criminally involved.  Return the call and put your mind at ease.  Hope this helps.  Best wishes to you.
