Bruce Pruitt-Hamm really helped me out of a jam. When my wife passed away 5 years ago, I didn't realize her estate had to go through probate. I just assumed, since her will was clear on the subject (I inherited everything) and my name was on all bank / retirement accounts jointly and all real estate was in both names, that probate wasn't required. I was wrong. I was in the middle of getting refinancing on an investment property this summer and had already got contractors started on the remodel work on the property when the mortgage lender informed me that the refinancing couldn't go through until the estate went through probate! I was extremely fearful that I'd have some very angry contractors when I would have to stop their work until the new mortgage was in place. In addition, I was going to lose my interest rate lock and mortgage processing fees! Then, in stepped Bruce and his able paralegal, Dorie, to the rescue. Bruce and Dorie fast tracked the probate process and Bruce made several calls to the mortgage bankers and title company to keep them informed and to keep the mortgage moving. And, it worked! In only a few weeks, the probate was finalized and the refinance was complete without having to delay or shutdown a single contractor! I highly recommend Pruitt-Hamm Law and Mediation Services for probate needs! - Joe
