Q: How does one "probate an estate" in Greene Co, AL?
My father died without a will 11 years ago. Now all of a sudden, relatives I never knew are contacting telling me to sell my portion of the property. Yet, I have no idea what to do.
A: You would need to call an attorney in Greene County, AL to help you, or find an attorney in Michigan who is also licensed in Alabama. This discussion board is for Michigan probate and real estate law, and a Michigan attorney generally is not going to want to give you advice about another state’s laws.
David Soble agrees with this answer
A: Your question is not clear as to where your father lived or where the real estate is located. Each state has it's own laws. If this matter pertains to an Alabama probate / real estate matter, then you will need to advice and counsel of a licensed probate attorney in Alabama. If the property or your father resided in Michigan, then we can be of assistance.
