Re: is lawyer doing what he is suppose to
Depending on the Court's schedule, it could be anywhere from 3-6 weeks before a hearing takes place. Note, however, that certain estates can be opened without having a Court hearing. It is not unusual for an attorney to take a retainer fee in a situation like this. This does not preclude you from being reimbursed from the Estate at a later date if the Court approves the fees. The ex-wife does not have any rights in this Estate. However, the 13 year old daughter does.
