Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
My Father just passed away last week and I am the executor of his estate, and also a Trustee on his two financial accounts. I do not live in the county where he lived, so the attorney who wrote the trust and settled my Mothers estate 4 years ago is not convenient to me since he is where my Dad lived. It's only a 3 hors drive though....
My parents had an AB trust. The B (Mom's) trust has not been distributed so will be part of what I am distributing when the time comes.
My questions is whether it would be smarter to stick with the attorney that wrote the trust and settled my Mom's part of the trust or take it all to an attorney closer to me. I'm not sure how long it would take for a new attorney to get familiar with all the details they need to advise me.
If anyone has thoughts on this, I would appreciate them. Thanks.
