I am consulting with lawyers this week. I just wanted to find out if this was something that was doable on my own being that it seems very straight forward from my perspective (one heir, will left everything to my mom, no creditors, all communal earnings). But from the responses here it seems like hiring a lawyer is the prudent thing to do.
it is the prudent thing to do, but just be wary of getting over-charged.
these "easy" cases are high margin areas for many attorneys
your biggest issue is knowing what creditors/debts exist (especially Medicare), but that's not really something the lawyer does. you as the executor will have to do that once the will is probated and you're named as the succession rep.
