Need info on hearing scheduled for my uncle's estate (no will)? |
I received notice of a hearing date regarding my uncle's estate to consider claims or an interest in his estate. I live out of state and it would be difficult to attend. It does state that failure to appear my result in loss of rights claimed. Do I need legal representation? Could I have my sister serve as my proxy? Sister can't. Atty can. If you think there is a substantial sum involved..... You haven't said what the hearing is about, so I can't give you a definite answer. But to be on the safe side, I would hire an attorney to attend the hearing for you. Your sister can only tell you what happened; she cannot make a statement to the judge on your behalf because she doesn't have the legal right to "represent" you. However, on the "less safe" side, I don't see how simply not being there would lose you anything, provided you got precise info on what transpired and what your obligations might be to, say, file an objection to what someone wanted to do. Generally, unless you are told in the notice exactly what is at issue, you do not have make a decision at the hearing as to what position you want to take. Hope this helps!! Good luck!! |
