- Probate Court: The estate must still go through probate to determine the rightful heirs and distribute the assets.

Hello,
My father died in December with out a will.His estate including his $*,* house in Essington ( he only owed $*,* at the time of his death) his boat & other things is left between my three siblings and I. We all agree on selling the house, however my sister in Florida recently just fired the attorney we had with out letting anyone know. I am afraid that she is going to try and sell the house out from under me and take my share of the cut. I would like to hire a lawyer to protect my inheritance rights. The problem is that I don't have a lot of money and the lawyer would have to take his dues out of the estate once it settles. If you think that you would be able to help me in ANY way possible, please email me back at your earliest convenience! I would really appreciate it!
Thank you so much,
Kathleen O'Neill
