What is the difference between a wills & probate lawyer versus a family law lawyer??
My family members are In the beginning of settling an estate …What is the difference between a wills & probate lawyer versus a family law and divorce lawyer…A brother who CLAIMS to be in charge of the estate sent paper work to me ….I looked up the lawyer he hired and the lawyer is called a Family law and divorce lawyer…….The type attorney I need to hire to settle quit claim deeds and repairs and upgrades made to the property left to the family is a Probate and will lawyer…Correct??..This brother who on the death of my mother DID NOT give a reading of the will and also DID NOT send any of the 6 kids a copy of her will…He is now demanding over 000 in back taxes our mom paid already..as well as repairs he made when he was given power of attorney to manage the property. He consulted nobody else on the deed about this….He is now going after everyone by the throat to cough up 00- 00 in 10 days OR ELSE…Is it a Wills and probate lawyer we contact??

Wills and probate – deal with the estate of a dead person.
Family law – divorce, child custody, adoption.
For a quit claim deed, repair to property -real estate atty.
But one atty might to all three.

Good luck
family law lawyers do divorces, paternity, child custody, child support, spousal support, etc.
will and probate atty’s do estates, wills, trusts, conservatorships, etc. You want a probate atty.
