If I were your attorney, and the evidence lent itself to your claim, then I would file a motion to dismiss and request a hearing at which point the State has the... View More

The real issue is creditors, since you are an only child. Are you on the mortgage, then that doesn't need to be probated. The life insurance does not need to be probated. The bank accounts are a different issue. It depends. What you really want on the bank accounts is to be the person on... View More

In most cases, yes. If they call ahead and have a very legitimate reason for missing, I have seen judges reschedule. If there is a criminal case pending, it may be continued to trail the criminal case.
