1 Answer from Attorneys
You can find an attorney who will do the probate for less. Try a little harder. What are you going to sue the bank over? Failing to have the beneficiary ? If they don't have the paperwork they win and you lose and lose 500 in costs in the process. Besides if the claim is for 10000 what good does a small
Claims case do you ? Seek some advice with all your paperwork from another attorney.
