Probate: An Executor’s Role and Responsibilities
As executor or administrator, you’ll want to use the guidance of an experienced attorney, especially if this is your first time navigating the probate process. Often, people put provisions in their wills advising that the attorney who drafted the will be used during the probate process. Depending on your situation, this may be an excellent option, but it is not a requirement.
It is also important to find an attorney you’ll be comfortable working with. Look for someone who is a good listener and is responsive to your questions. You will be working closely with this person, so it is important to engage the services of an attorney whom you like and trust.
