Dealing with the death of a loved one is a stressful time. Don’t make this time even more stressful by not being able to get the wishes expressed in the deceased loved one’s will carried out. Probate is the legal process to deal with all problems associated with wills and contests to wills or estates. A good probate lawyer or probate litigator can greatly reduce your stress levels. Here is how to find a good Probate Attorney in Moline, IL and surrounding areas.
Ask for Recommendations
The chances are slim that you know anyone that recently went through probate court or the settlement of a deceased loved one’s estate. However, if you do know anyone that you trust that went through this, discreetly ask for a recommendation. If you already have a lawyer for other legal purposes, ask him or her for a probate lawyer recommendation.
Interview the Lawyer
It’s best to schedule a personal meeting with your potential lawyer before you hire one. This is a good time to ask any questions you have, discover the probate attorney’s fees and see what kind of person the attorney is like. Before you make an appointment, find out if this consultation is free or if a fee is involved.
