You are not required to hire an attorney, but, there aren't any forms available to take you through this process. The reason for this is because each case is unique, meaning: Who are the beneficiaries? Is there a home involved? A Will? If a Will is it valid? Creditors? Etc. Depending on what is required for your case, I would be willing to help by reducing my rates. Feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Melody Stickel-Martinez, Esq. (954)966-4140

The court will most likely require you to retain an attorney. Fees are not that much with some attorneys taking their fee out of the estate upon closing.
