What is the name of your state? PA
My wife passed away about 4 months ago and I have not had to use probate to handle anything thus far. Now however I find she also left me some stock from a bank that she used to work at. The stock is barely worth $1800.00 and I was wondering if I could take care of the probate on my own or is it necessary to hire a lawyer who seems bent on receiving everything I would gain from that stock. Is there really that much work involved in taking care of that yourself? Or should I just sit on it until it's worth my time to get my greedy lawyer to do it. Sorry for the bad feelings but I have had this lawyer for over 20 years and he has changed greatly with time and wealth from his deceased father.
Please help me, Sincerely,
Charles Eby
