If my significant other died last week and I was named as personal representative in the Will, what do I need to do now if I'm also the sole beneficiary?
Question Details:
What steps to I need to take? Does the Will need to go through probate?
If you are named in your significant other's Will as the executor and sole beneficiary, you need to file a probate petition as to her estate in the county court house where she last resided attaching the original Will to the filing.
I suggest that you consult with a Wills and trust attorney to assist you in the endeavor. You will also need to itemize all of the deceased's assets. The suggested Wills and trust attorney should be able to assist you in the matter and in getting the process started.
