Q: If I am petitioning the court to become appointed the executor, will I need to personally appear at any hearings?

A: You won’t typically need to appear at any hearings. For probate hearings, we often see favorable tentative rulings, and appearances are not required. If an appearance is required, usually only your attorney will need to appear. And if you do need to appear, your attorney will guide you through that process!
