A: She should contact the estate executor. If she doesn’t receive satisfactory answers, she may need to enlist the services of a probate attorney. An experienced probate attorney can represent her interests, and obtain valuable information about the estate. He or she can determine exactly what your mother is entitled to receive, how the proceeds will be distributed, and answer any other questions she may have about the process.
