What is the name of your state? Wyoming
My mother died and left me as sole beneficiary in her will. Is probate needed in this case? Her lawyer told me it was, but I don't know if it is just that he wants money or not. I don't see why it is needed if she had no debts and left a will. I have one brother who wasn't mentioned in the will and wouldn't contest it anyway. The property in the will is a house and an old car. If probate is needed to I really have to have a lawyer?
