https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Probate-how-to-process/m-p/318153#M134933 <P>I have an acquaintance whose DH died within a short time span of a diagnosis. She is cluleless as to what to do and it made me wonder as well, when a spouse dies, and you are in charge of the estate how does probate get started? Do you have to initially contact a lawyer to get the ball rolling? Thanks!</P> Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:26:07 GMT Mom2Dogs 2013-04-18T14:26:07Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Probate-how-to-process/m-p/318153#M134933 <P>I have an acquaintance whose DH died within a short time span of a diagnosis.
