moms mutual fund
Moms will states all assests to be divided equally. Also states the will not to be probated.Theshareholder service is requiring a certified copy of the court appointment of legal representativeof the decedents estate. Must bear original cert. of your County Clerk and must be certifiedwithin 6 months. My brother and sister are named as co-executors in my Mothers will .
does my brotherneed to send a copy of the will that was drawn up by a lawyer ?she picked her own executors and does not need a court appointed executor. Also the will stated it is not to be probated as there was no assests or property to distributed other than this.

Re: moms mutual fund
If the mutual funds were only in your mom's name, then the will should be probated.
