Re: Role of Personal Representative

Yes. If one fails to make a will (dies intestate), the Maryland laws of intestacy will govern the division and distribution of one's probate estate. The services of an experienced Maryland estate planning attorney should be engaged to ensure proper handling of the estate for the family under Maryland law. If I can be of any help to you or people you know, please contact me as I would be pleased to provide legal/tax support.
