How do you know when to hire a probate expert in your probate case? You should hire someone with more than 25 years of probate experience when there are disputes among family members as to how to handle the assets of the estate.
Complications can arise in sales of probate property when one or more family members live in the property. When a sibling asks another family member to move out of the property, this request brings with it, feelings of animosity, a power play, and past feelings that have remained unresolved. When a neutral asks a family member to move out, there are no past feelings involved. The decision is one of simple economics. If there is a fight, everyone loses.
Experts in probate know have in their tool box of experience, many creative ways to resolve probate and trust disputes. Younger lawyers lack the basic understanding of creative solutions and will often take a case to trial, because they simply do not have creative solutions as part of their experience. When a case goes to trial, in most cases, all beneficiaries lose.
