How to hire a "free" lawyer for probate

These days, I am finding that probates are often cash poor. In other words, imagine that all the cash has been used up in trying to keep up mortgage payments and your loved one's final medical bills that once your loved one dies. Now you are left with a house, a car, and debts. Somehow, you need to come up with cash to support the various monthly debt payments until the house and other assets can be sold. Otherwise, you are looking at foreclosure. What to do!?!

Luckily, some lawyers (like me) will help with your probate with little up front payment. The key is to have at least some asset that can eventually be sold to cover legal fees and court costs. As long as you have a car, house or other property with equity, you should be okay. The probate statute says that legal fees get paid before other creditors (even the IRS), so there is no reason to struggle without professional help. For more information, click here to see website.
