Sorry but there seems to be contradictions as to the replies and one needs to find the correct answer.

(get an attorney-I do understand)

You cannot fault a person for trying to gain some basic knowledge.

Who is to say that the attorney that one hires to review the estate may be flawed just like the estate attorney and the surrogate judge?

You can't, but at least YOU have the opportunity to interview and decide if you want them to represent you. And you are hiring them to represent YOU. The other parties are not there to represent your interests.

If the estate proceedings are located in another state then does the attorney that one hires need to be in that state or can they be from the beneficiaries "home" state?

You can hire someone locally, who may have an affiliate or work through an affiliate at the court where the action is taking place.

Thanks

Hello again, Lotta:

After due consideration, I'm going to change my advice. I've been wrong. You don't need a lawyer. It's going to be throwing good money after bad.

Even, if you won your portion of the estate, given that you seem surprised that people don't always do what they're supposed to do, you're going to lose it all to the first person who happens along.

So, save yourself (and us) the trouble. Let them have it.

I read through and can't find any contradictions - just for my own info, what info do you find contradictory?

You don't know that the estate attorney and Judge are "flawed" - until you get an independent Attorney you don't know anything at all. I think you think the World is out to get you - and maybe it is. I sure hope this estate is worth millions of dollars because it is going to cost the estate thousands of dollars trying to explain the accounting to you.

You are not being faulted for trying to gain some basic knowledge - I am least am faulting you for continuing to post question after question like anyone here knows all the circumstances instead of getting off your duff and retaining counsel -

Which, by the way, has been advised since March 24.
