With all due respect, you cannot even figure out how to get the process started without going to a message board. That would tell me I am not able to do it without any attorney.


Bs and I know this is the Moneyboard but frick off with that attitude.

The entire point of a message board is to share experience and BS about things like this. The entitled attitude of “if you have to ask a message board then hire a professional” is horrible. I could say that to almost every topic on here, why do we talked investments and retirement when there are professionals we could just pay?

I don’t know the answer to the OP, but it’s pathetic to give that response. OP should be able to find out what it takes to do it on his own, then he can decide if his time and effort is worth it.

You shouldn’t need to hire an attorney because someone passed away with a will. You should have the choice.

Horrible advice on so many levels.

Here is what it will take him in time and effort to make sure it’s done correctly. 3 years of law school and pass the Bar exam. Probably not worth it to him. That’s why lawyers can charge what they charge. Takes an enormous amount of time and effort to know how to do legal proceedings correctly. You expect this stuff to be so easy as to give a simple answer to the OP? OP there is a ton you don’t know and you could make things worse. Much worse. Just pay a lawyer to do it. Probably a flat fee and if it’s simple probably no more than a few thousand plus court costs.

Yeah he has the choice alright and he could frick up royally. There is a ton of issues you are simply not trained to make proper decisions on.

Practicing law is not like changing oil in a car or fixing a dryer. You can’t youtube it.

Go to hell ole miss advice is sound and I don’t think he was being a jerk about it.
