[Esta página está en español;
Trang này bằng tiếng Việt]
The Court cannot give you legal advice and we cannot recommend a lawyer.
But, you can:
| Find a probate lawyer |
Find a probate lawyer in the Yellow Pages of your
phone book.
Or, call Santa Clara County Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service
at: www.sccba.com/
(408) 971-6822
Many lawyers charge a reasonable fee, usually $38, for the first
consultation. |
| Do it yourself |
If you decide to represent yourself, you’ll have to be
your own lawyer. You will have to learn about probate law and court
rules and procedures.
You will need the following:
|
| Hire a legal document assistant |
You can hire a legal document assistant to fill out
your forms and papers. But, a legal document assistant cannot give you
legal advice. It is up to you to make sure all rules and
procedures are followed. |
