Start with the questions.
After a death, families may need to locate records, communicate with institutions, manage property, and follow a state process. Whether probate applies and how it works depends on the assets, ownership, documents, and state law.
Questions worth bringing to a conversation
- Who knows where your important records are?
- Who would you want to handle practical tasks?
- Which assets or accounts could require special attention?
You do not need every answer before you call.
