I was told by probate court to find the right paper online and fill it out. What paper is for me. He didn't have a will. I'm the only child. Do I have to pay for this or have to have a attorney. I'm lost and need help.
A: Go online and look at forms for Summary Release or Relief from Administration for the county probate court where he was living. There are instructions with the forms online. If you can't figure it out, then use the Find a Lawyer tab and retain a local probate attorney to assist you for a few hundred dollars.
