re: Do you need a lawyer for probate?

Oh and you’re a grammer nazi as well? Make you feel superior and your points seem more legitimate? Love to be on the other side of smug assholes like you in a jury trial. They smell your shite a mile away.

Too bad your mom can’t be on everyone of the juries you go in front of. That is if you ever have them.

LOL. Nice attempt to deflect your horrible legal advice. You advised him to go online to figure out how to do this succession. The guy thinks he just has to fill out a form Jesus Christ that’s fricking dumb legal advice.

LOL you think one word absolves you from any responsibility for the legal advice you have given him already in this thread that he may rely upon to his detriment?

Do yourself a favor and stop giving legal advice unless you get paid for it. Malpractice premiums don’t pay for themselves.

Don’t you know you have a responsibility whenever you open your mouth about legal issues? What are you going to do next? Tell people to represent themselves in criminal court? They got some good youtube videos on there all about probable cause and reasonable doubt.

“Go online to figure it out he says!” as I point to you as the defendant in a jury trial for malpractice.

The guy is a certified bad arse and a very interesting person. Take a few minutes to read up on him. He ended up working for Israel. What a shitty Nazi! The guy was just basically interested in being a famous bad arse and he was.

Kind of like how Nazi scientists ended up working for the US to develop our rockets. You know, the same scientists that developed the V1 and V2 rockets that were fired at England? We all know who got to the moon first right? OMG there really could be a Nazi base on the moon!

Here is a picture of a Nazi that got us there. Is that President Kennedy riding with him? Ooops! Again, what’s with these shitty Nazis?!


Anyway, I am a WW2 history buff but that doesn’t mean I condone Nazi politics anymore than Kennedy condoned Nazi rocket attacks that killed thousands in England. Thousands of civilians mind you.

Otto just wanted to be a great commando just like Von Braun just wanted to build rockets.

The USA has our own military bad asses as well. I highly doubt the family’s of the people they have killed think of them as fine god-fearing good upstanding citizens. But you do.

Life is not black and white. Labels are for simple people that can’t scratch beyond the surface. Being a Nazi is not what made these people famous and not why my screen name is modeled after him.

It’s actually kind of funny you mentioned it’s not rocket surgery don’t you think?

By the way, I love how you put all these conditions on if he should decide to do this himself. All these ifs don’t sound good.

Research? OMFG it will be greek to him. Haven’t you heard learning the law is actually akin to learning a new language? He could be trying to ask a Russian girl for a date but in fact is asking her something that will get his face slapped. And you do know that Louisiana law language is different than any other State right? So you won’t know either WTF I would be saying either in a succession hearing or pleadings just like the OP, and the ramifications of same.

OP go get a reasonably priced succession lawyer to do this. You are not changing the oil in your mom’s Mercury.

As in Mercury rockets that sent the first USA astronauts into space? Curtesy of a Nazi rocket scientist mind you. Maybe you should shite all over that? Hmmmmm. Maybe I should have named myself after von Braun instead so I could get away with being a secret Nazi?

You sound as crazy as Commander Delta’s maybe-dead wife’s sister.

be careful baw. you better put your malpractice on notice and get prepared to explain this to a JURY

What assets have to go through probate?

---

Below are the assets that, imo, must go through probate. I've also included the list of ones that I believe do not have to go through probate - please correct me if wrong.

Probate
Car - under dad's name
House - under dad's name
Bank accounts that are under dad's name
Stocks under dad's name
IRA CDs under dad's name


Probate not needed
Joint bank accounts
401K - mom is listed as beneficiary
Pension - mom is beneficiary
Social security - We've already alerted SS and a telephone appointment has been scheduled.

All assets are community property and gained within the 40 years of marriage.

Thanks for the link. I will definitely read through this if the quotes are outrageous.

I really appreciate everyone's input on this. This has been a tough holiday season on our small family.

You seem to be quite comfortable giving legal advice behind the veil of anonymity

i didn't give any legal advice in this thread. the big legal issue is if the will is valid and legal. THAT analysis would require some legal advice, which i don't believe anyone in this thread has given. everyone has replied assuming OP is correct and the will is valid. i even put, i believe twice, that the process is simple unless it is contested. in that case, i hope he gets an attorney b/c succession litigation can be immensely complicated

i told him to speak with attorneys but not get gouged

now, i did reply to you and correct you on your incorrect assertions that he could royally frick this up if he did it on his own. that's not instructing OP in any way, just correcting you. i'm not telling OP "hey you can't screw this up go do it on your own". i'm saying "Otto, you are wrong".

i'll make this simpler, with an instruction to OP: go speak to a couple attorneys (who give free consultations), but if they sound like the poster Otto, run away.
