Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
My great aunt died and left a will she left her estate to my mom who is now dead and to of my moms sisters. Since my mom is dead will my moms part of the estate go to me. And a lawyer wants $20,000 to validate the will. Why so much money?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Suggest you talk to an attorney who handles Federal/VA estate planning/administration matters
and Federal/VA taxation matters. Information will need to be assembled
and carefully reviewed for a proper analysis and estate distribution
plan to be implemented. An experienced estate/tax attorney in VA should be
able to handle this type of matter and to protect the interests of the
client. Please note that, in accordance with the VA Code of
Professional Responsibility for Attorneys, a signed engagement letter
is necessary in order to engage my legal services. If I can be of any
help to you or people you know, contact me as I would be pleased to
provide tax/legal support.
