Probate is a very complicated and formal process. There are no requirements to use a lawyer, but it is not wise to do so. Even the smallest detail that is missed or left out can cause everything to come to a halt, exposing everyone to liability.

Not having a will can be dangerous in <state> that's because Washington DC laws will be used to determine who gets your property by default. Usually, your property will be distributed based on how the state thinks most people will want it done. That means property usually goes to your spouse or children and then to other family members.

That can be a hassle if you have other plans in mind. Washington DC probate lawyers can help you transfer your wishes onto a will that clearly spells out your wishes to your executor. An executor is a person who is responsible for proving the will is valid, finding the dead person’s property, appraising the property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing left over property according to the person’s probate will.

Setting up a living trust may be one way to avoid the probate process. But it must still follow certain Washington DC laws. Be sure to contact a probate lawyer in Washington DC who can inform you of your rights.
