Mom just passed away. You walk into the bank to get the money out mom’s bank account. But you are shocked when the bank says you are not allowed to have access to the bank account without getting a letter testamentary.

What?

The bank manager tells you: “A Letter testamentary can be gotten from a lawyer.”

You say: But I have her Last Will and Testament. I am supposed to get all the money. But still no luck convincing the banker.

So you go to the lawyer’s office and say, “I need a letter from a lawyer to get into mom’s bank account.”

Unfortunately, a letter testamentary is a court order. To get that court order you have to go through a court process called probate.

Announcing ProbateZip™ Uncontested Probate anywhere in New York for $500 flat fee

I have developed a new web based probate system that allows an individual client to go through probate at home, online, but with a lawyer. This is not a Do It Yourself system.

The client answers a series of questions online, and the Probate Petition and related papers are immediately created.

But even better, a lawyer in my office then reviews it for accuracy, makes corrections and sends it to the client to sign.

We file the paperwork and we are the attorney of record. It’s perfect for
• family friendly situations
• personal injury cases
• bank managers dealing with customers who need to go through probate for one bank account.
