Estate Planning Lawyer R. Sam Price has outlined the priorities a person needs to undertake before hiring a probate attorney.

The founder of the Price Law Firm, APC, in Redlands, asserted that before hiring, a person named as an executor for power of attorney of a will, needs to collect various documentation to affect the probate process.
These include copies of the death certificate, last will and any codicils, bank statements and other financial documents, a list of a loved one’s assets and names and contact details for individuals named in the will.
If they believe that family members could contest or cause problems during the probate process, then having all the relevant documents at hand will not only help them in the long run but their probate attorney as well.
Mr Price said: “An executor carries a lot of power but also shoulders the burdens and responsibilities at this time, so they must be thoroughly detailed and focused. They will be responsible for distributing assets, such as money and property, according to the deceased’s wishes.”
An executor must understand what probate is all about. While it is the legal distribution and transfer of assets following someone’s death, legal steps still need to be adhered to before property and money can be handed over to a family member.
However, probate may not be necessary if a loved one leaves a small estate. This keeps the proceedings out of the court system and a faster path to settlement.
Mr Price said that before seeking advice from a probate attorney, an executor would need to evaluate the best one available as no two estates and wills are the same.
“It is best to invest a little time to choose the best probate attorney and that they are fit for the circumstances the executor needs them for. Find one that is sympathetic and communicative, but is also experienced in this area of the law,” he concluded.
