A good estate plan would involve both a living trust and a will as well as possible other possibilities to make sure that your wishes for each other are fulfilled. A consultation with a competent estate planning attorney would be recommended. I would be happy to assist you if you would like. Good luck!

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
To put it simply Someone, usually the primary heir, hires an attorney and files a probate action in the county where the deceased last resided. Then all beneficiaries are notified and the court appoints a personal representative After that all assets are gathered, debts paid and the rest distributed At times if real property is in multiple states multiple probates may be needed (one in each state where there is property) SO It does not happen automatically. Probate and attorneys can get expensive so the question is are there sufficient assets to worry about.. I advise you to gather all the information you can about your fathers assets and contact an attorney to discuss if it is worthwhile to file a probate action if your apparent step mom does not.
