Q: I have filled out subpoenas for information in a probate case. The judge is holding them.
I filled them out 5 weeks ago and sent them to the court to be signed. They are requesting phone records, text messages, Documents for a will contest. The judge is holding them and when I check it is something different. Today I was told the Judge is researching to see if he can even sign them? If I were an attorney they would been issued? what now?
A: I recommend you hire an attorney to assist you with this case. I'm not entirely sure what "Subpoenas for information" refers to. If you are trying to pursue a Will contest there are important time limits in place so it's essential that you hire an experienced probate litigator as soon as possible
