Probate Fiducaries

[Andrew Christie]

Hello fellow BPers!

I'm trying to get things going with probates and it's been a slow start. It's not necessarily the easiest thing to figure out. Anyway, when I go to one of my local courthouses, they can give me a summary report for probates that have been filed for whatever date range I choose. This report lists the case number, decedent, fiduciary, the value of property, and value of real estate.

I've noticed that a good number of fiduciaries (which I understand is synonymous with executor) are attorneys. For those of you working probates, do you weed the attorneys out?

Thanks!
