Q: I am a claimant in a past probate for $186k. (Rejected) Problem is they have me listed as an attorney.
Need a strong attorney to figure out who changed my my status from CLAIMANT to ATTORNEY. also Need to appeal. ( Btw I'm not an attorney)
A:
In California, if your status was incorrectly listed as an attorney in a probate case, it's essential to address this error promptly. You should consider retaining a probate attorney who can thoroughly review the case documents and court filings. This attorney can investigate how and why your status was changed and can take appropriate legal actions to rectify this mistake.
For appealing the rejection of your claim, your attorney can guide you through the appeal process. This includes filing a notice of appeal within the required timeframe and presenting your case effectively to the appellate court. Given the complexity of probate law and the strict deadlines involved, having a knowledgeable attorney on your side can be crucial for a successful appeal.
Remember, in legal matters like these, timely action is key. Delaying can affect your rights and the outcome of your case. It's advisable to seek legal assistance as soon as possible to navigate through these challenges efficiently.
