Re: Probate wills
A petition, signed by an interested party, starts a probate proceeding. The petition is to be filed in the county in which the decedent was domiciled.
Generally, any person with an interest in the estate can sign the petition.
What is your interest in the estate; executor, friend, creditor, distant relative??
