Probate and estate intakes

More estate and probate consults with family and asset context clear.

A useful estate or probate inquiry should identify whether this is planning or administration, the county, family situation, assets, urgency, and next step.

Planning, probate, or dispute

Planning, probate, and disputes are different conversations.

Estate and probate inquiries should quickly separate planning, administration, and dispute paths. Intake needs the county, family role, asset context, urgency, and whether the person is ready for counsel.
