Probate Resources

Probate is the legal process of transferring the assets of a deceased person to their heirs. It can be a complex and time-consuming process, but there are a number of resources available to help.

Here are a few other resources:

  • Probate court and clerk websites: Most probate courts have a website that includes instructions, etc. They also provide the court’s schedule and contact information. The county clerk may also provide similar information.
  • Legal aid organizations: Legal aid organizations provide free or low-cost legal services to people who cannot afford an attorney. They may be able to help you with probate matters, such as filling out forms or representing you in court.
  • Self-help resources: There are many self-help resources available for probate, such as books, websites, and software programs. These resources can help you understand the probate process and complete the necessary paperwork.

In addition to the resources listed above, here are some other things you can do to get help with probate:

  • Talk to your family and friends. They may be able to offer emotional support and practical help.
  • Join a support group for people who are going through probate. This can be a great way to connect with others who understand what you are going through.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Even the court can help in some cases. The court may be able to appoint a guardian ad litem to help you with the probate process, for example.
