What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? AL
My father died with a notarized will and living trust. I am listed as the executor and sole beneficiary. In order to get the letter of Testamentary to conclude his financial affairs, I intended to file his will with the probate office myself to save the attorney fees. I was told by a clerk in the office that only attorneys have the necessary forms and that I would have to get one (an attorney). I'm not entirely sure that that is true. Can anyone here help me? Thanks in advance for your input.
