The office was recently able to obtain a "victory" by having the court allow an informal probate of an estate technically more than three (3) years old. The common course is to have a more costly, time consuming formal probate. The things to remember are: (1) If someone is to want to set up a parent's estate so that there be no need for a will, MAKE SURE all the dots are dotted, T's crossed. You end up with having to fight with formal probate administration proceedings (2) All papers have to be cleared by a judicial case manager before for approval. That is one dimension of the practice of probate administration that makes it unique, if not unusual. Using our office that not only understands this but acts to work with the court on a personal basis (being lawyer of the day, volunteering for appointments as special administrator, e.g.) is invaluable.
