You can contact any probate attorney or even any other attorney who knows about estates. It depends how complicated it may be. You can also contact the attorney who prepared it for her.

I concur. You really do want to have a qualified person look over the will and account for the assets. As stated, if the total gross value is under $100,000, then there are short forms for Proate on the Court's website (I also have them posted on No-Probate.com).

If she owned any real property (ignoring whatever amount may or may not still be owned) then odds are very high that a Probate will be required because there are few pieces of real property that are valued at under $100,000.

If you would like to discuss this matter further in a more private forum, please feel free to contact me directly at the email address provided by LawGuru or through our firm�s website located at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com
