    Thanks for all the advice so far guys. Lots of good info! Keep it coming. I am open to having the trust done if that is the way we should go. I just need to convince those close to me that is the way to go. I know if there are potential disputes in the family between siblings then a trust is for sure the way to go. In my situation we will not have that problem. My Folks situation is simple. House, couple cars, few material items and couple bucks in the bank.

     

    I have heard and read the negatives about probate but have also read that a simple informal probate is a very simple process. With a will in place and no family disagreements the informal probate papers are filed with the court register by paralegal/ Attorney, there is no court hearing. The executer according to will insures everything is fulfilled according to the will. As far as cost the only cost I can find are a $270 fee approx. for court filing fee and of course fees to have the paralegal/ attorney prepare file paperwork. Again I understand that if your situation is ugly with family disagreements then cost can sky rocket with attorney fees and court hearings.

     

    As far as Paralegal verses Attorney I know everyones situation is different and certain things in life require attorneys but as far as having documents prepared and filed for will are trust I cannot understand why I would pay a attorney 2-3K when a certified paralegal can do the same thing for less then half the cost?

    This is just some of the info I have gathered from lots of reading and researching. Let me know where I am wrong. I am trying to learn.!

     

    Also am looking for recommendations for paralegal are attorneys that folks have had great experience with. You can post are PM the info to me. Thanks Again this is a real learning curve. Not something you go through life thinking about until the time comes that you have too!

    Thought I would turn here as there has been a lot of good recommendations on different things over the years on CWT from fellow hunters.

    Was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations are experiences with paralegals in the greater phoenix area on having wills/ power of attorney forms done. I have done alot of internet research over the last couple of months but am just not sure with way to turn.

    Trying to help those close to me in my life take care of some of their matters. i dont think we are looking to have a trust done but just a good will with power of attorney. Also dont think we need to go through a attorney but just a good paralegal.

    I have a lot of connections for different things in life but this is one area I just dont know much are have any solid recommendations on anyone.

    Thanks for any advice are recommendations from anyone.

    Happy hunting!
