Probate Lawyer Burnham
If you are the executor of a will you need to decide whether you want to carry out the probate process yourself, or if you want to pay a professional. Generally, it is worth considering a probate lawyer if you are dealing with a complex estate. Even if you are not dealing with a complex estate, you may still want to hire a probate solicitor to relieve some of the pressure off yourself.
Complex estates include:
- Questions about the validity of the will.
- Situations where someone was deliberately left out of the will, but who may want to make a claim.
- If there are complicated arrangements, for example assets held in a trust.
- If the estate is bankrupt or insolvent, ie. The debts are more than the assets.
