Re: Probate

If your mother passed away with a will and her estate is

fairly simple, you should contact one of the clerks in

the probate department of the County Clerk's office at

the courthouse in your county. Usually the clerks are

very helpful but they will not advise you as to law.

Try them first and see what they have to say. Ususally

smaller counties clerks's are more helpful than those in

the larger courthouses.
