What is the difference between a wills & probate lawyer versus a family law lawyer?
Dog Rescuer asked:
My family members are In the beginning of settling an estate …What is the difference between a wills & probate lawyer versus a family law and divorce lawyer…A brother who CLAIMS to be in charge of the estate sent paper work to me ….I looked up the lawyer he hired and the lawyer is called a Family law and divorce lawyer…….The type attorney I need to hire to settle quit claim deeds and repairs and upgrades made to the property left to the family is a Probate and will lawyer…Correct??..This brother who on the death of my mother DID NOT give a reading of the will and also DID NOT send any of the 6 kids a copy of her will…He is now demanding over $10000 in back taxes our mom paid already..as well as repairs he made when he was given power of attorney to manage the property. He consulted nobody else on the deed about this….He is now going after everyone by the throat to cough up $2000- $3000 in 10 days OR ELSE…Is it a Wills and probate lawyer we contact??

My father passed away in July in Florida and left a will, but his wife said there is nothing to probate?
rockpendragoon asked:
Can this be true? He made up a will in 2000. He amended it in 2003 where as the Kidney foundation got 70% and the kids to split the rest. She (his wife, not my mother) says that he signed everthing over to her before he died and now there is nothing to probate. He had 2 houses, land, and a 3 bay shop full of costly machinery. I had to send off to the clerk of courts myself to get a copy of the will. There was quite a bit of money back in 2003. Even if, as she says, there is nothing to probate, wouldn`t it have to go before a court to sign off on it? Thank you for your time and help.
