Probate can be in multiple states. Where the person resided is one, another could any state the person owned real estate. An attorney has to be licensed where they practice, or be admitted to that state for the case. If a person puts one child on all their accounts, that child is usually the owner of those funds, unless a will says otherwise. Visit kliszlaw.com to discuss further. Tim Klisz
