There is house, in both parents’ names, a couple of bank accounts and a house full of personal property. Client is only child, only beneficiary in the wills. Do I file dad’s probate first, close it out after everything has been transferred and taxes filed, etc.,  then file mom’s probate? Or is there an alternative that is more expedient? First time for me with this scenario. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
