My mom died in January. She has no will and only one family member me her daughter. The house is paid ofg and is in her name and so is her car. Due to her death and my greif I lost my job. I have no money to spend on an attorney. She had no insurance and was heavy in debit . I have no idea if there an agency that can help. Any suggestions?
You might also see if mom had anything of value you can sell online? On Ebay? If she owned a house, it should be full of stuff. Some of this stuff could be sold to help you hire a lawyer. If you had siblings, it would be different...but being her only heir, there's noone to dispute you. No one knows what all is there... big items like the house and car are a different story, but there's no record of that little Majolica Vase that's worth 50.00 to someone on Ebay, that your mom got as a gift years ago... Things like these can add up, believe me. They did for my dad when mom died. He made enough that he would have easily been able to hire a lawyer had he needed one.
