Re: Wills
MD law requires that the custodian of a document appearing to be the last Will of the decedent to file it promptly with the Register of Wills in the county where the decedent was domiciled at the time of death. There are MD estate administration issues that need to be carefully considered and dealt with after full development of the facts and circumstances here. There are certain time periods that are applicable for administration of a regular estate in MD. An experienced estate planning/administration attorney should be able to handle this under MD law.
