What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I am meeting with the attorney that is handling my aunt's estate in 4 days. I've been told I have to sign "some papers". My aunt died intestate last year and the family is looking for someone to act as executor. I have another aunt and uncle on that side of the family, but they are in either no physical or mental condition to act in that capacity. There are also three cousins, but they are not interested in being executor. All I know so far is that her funeral has not been paid for as well as the attorney and that there may be a significant credit card bill involved as an additional debt. Her only asset was a modular home in poor condition. What would be some good questions to ask the attorney under these circumstances?
