Q: Follow-up question to Jack Carney...
You just answered a question about probating a will and my brother not signing. My mother passed away in June 2009 and we paid for probate in January 2014. Can you advise on our next step? Should we just get another attorney?
A: I cannot really give a specific answer as I do not know all of the facts and am not advising you as a personal attorney. However, if you paid for probate you may want to first revisit the issue with the attorney and inquire as to whether he or she will move forward with the probate without the waiver. In the end if it does not seem like anything will happen it might be worth talking to other counsel (perhaps at least go get a consultation).
