Estate lawyer might be of service in many ways. First and foremost, consulting a lawyer if you become a liquidator or an heir is a very good idea: it’s better to ask questions in advance than to deal with some unpleasant consequences of not asking those questions in due time.
Of course, at any moment during the Estate liquidation process, if there is another question, consulting an Estate lawyer continues to be an advisable course of action.
Besides informing yourself of your rights and obligations at every stage, you might need an Estate lawyer’s help if you wish to renounce your share in the Estate, to contest a Will, to claim a debt owed to you from the Estate or to protect the Estate from such a claim, etc.
Being a liquidator, you might face a situation where the directions of the Will contradict the wishes of the heirs, so they might try to remove you from the position in Court. This also calls for an Estate lawyer.
Estate lawyer and a notary
But for the legal information and representation in Court in case of a conflict, Estate lawyer’s help might be indispensable in the process of liquidation itself, as a liquidator has several (and rather burdensome) legal obligations, including title transfers, tax returns, obtaining clearance certificates, communication with officials, providing an inventory and reports and so on.
This work can be done in cooperation with a notary or with an Estate lawyer. Allen Madelin Lawyers work on daily basis with Wills and Estates issues, consulting the clients and representing them in Courts. For details, please contact us by phone: 1 514 904 4017 or by email: [email protected].
