Probate depression

I am frustrated with people such as lawyers, probate partners and people around me.

They can't give me the best advice for processing probate. The lawyer was scared of missing international assets which had been closed for a long time before my husband died. Why didn't she recommend me by using assets tracing investigator service?

Nobody told me anything. It's only Google helping me to act correctly. Hopefully, I will get a quote from the professional companies that will be able to trace the assets in the country and offshore.

I am getting frustrated that I haven't submitted probate after my husband passed away 2 months ago.

I am getting worried that I am not able to prepare for it this year. But I must submit it this year because time is ticking.

The bank was getting too slow to come back to me. I hate high street banks.

I am very angry with my husband who had made me face probate. I am not supposed to have these issues.

I will buy executor liability insurance and local probate services to fill in the form.

Jesus helps to pass through these difficult times.
I feel like I am mentally exhausted and dying.

We avoided probate for ourselves by putting everything of value under joint ownership, and and added "Transfer on Death" clauses to our real estate and auto titles. IRA accounts by definition escape probate and goes directly to the beneficiaries, requiring just a death certificate and it's done.

After the above, there is nothing left to probate.

It took a year to settle what my dad left behind. While it wasn't really an issue for us, pity the people with immediate needs for a spouse's or parent's resources.

@Heartlander I can apply probate myself ( This is the law in our country) by using Assets Tracing Investigator and a Probate Service to help me to fill in the form. Probate service or lawyer doesn't need to represent me in the court. I represent myself in the court.
The more and more I talk to the lawyer. The more I feel like they are helpless as well. Why do I pay expensive fee for the lawyer while they can't do an excellent job?

I can buy the Executor Liability Insurance as they cover up me from being errors.

Rules in the US can't apply to me. I don't live in the US.
@Arrow17 Ahhhhh ... You are not in the US :) But sounds like similar process. In the US you also don't "need" a lawyer if your are comfortable handling it all yourself. But if there are probate assets the banks won't turn over the assets without a probate court's OK, whether you do that through a lawyer or do it yourself. When I looked through the forms, etc. the "how to" was pretty straight forward.

@Arrow17 oh i see.. even if they were responsible its hard to make them take responsibility for it .. sorry that happened to you and him 😐 you'd have to have absolute proof it was their fault and an excellent lawyer to do anything about it unfortunately and they aren't cheap

@GoFish I will not sue health provider. I prefer to sue Astrazenica and Moderna. I am still focus on probate so I can't focus on sue the big pharma at the moment.

@Arrow17 Big pharma is immune from being sued.
