Legal Advice
After a death, there are many legal details to hammer out. While it is not necessary to get a lawyer, it is strongly recommended. A lawyer will make sure all the "t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted.” The time following a death of a loved one is extremely emotional, and even the closest family will have disagreements over the most trivial matters. To make sure there is still peace in the family, it is a good idea to let a lawyer figure things out.
Before getting in touch with a lawyer there are several important documents that you need to gather. Those include:
- Wills
- Deeds
- Bank Statements
- Insurance Policies
- Vehicle and Boat titles
- Tax Documents
