THE ROLE OF DECEASED ESTATE
LAWYERS
An executor cannot just randomly
deal with the deceased person’s
assets, even if their name is
mentioned in the will.
That’s where deceased estate
lawyers come in! Their primary
role is to help your loved ones
deal with the tricky legal stuff so
they don’t have to deal with it
alone.
ROLE OF PROBATE AND DECEASED ESTATE
LAWYERS:
• Assist the executor:
The primary role of a probate lawyer is to assist the
executor in handling everything.
• Help you save money:
Hiring a probate lawyer requires fees. However, these
expenses are not much when compared to the costs of an
unsuccessful estate administration.
• Helps you avoid rejection from the court:
If the required paperwork is not submitted along with the
attachments, your application for a grant of probate may
be denied.
• Pay off the debts
easily:
Compile all of the debt details of the deceased; it can
take a lot of time and effort.
• Check all the boxes:
A probate may include over 50 documents, which can
be tedious and complicated.The debts may include
funeral expenses, income taxes, personal loans, and
creditor money.
• Additional estate services:
A probate lawyer’s role may extend beyond the legal
probate process. They can also help draft agreements
between beneficiaries and executors if they have
reached an agreement to amend the contributions
made in the will.
