</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I am wondering if anyone has handled a probate with the original will being marked up by the testator and would be willing to share their experience.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The estate should be around 500K. The only heirs are 2 brothers, the father crossed off the name of the PR (older brother) and wrote in and initialed the other brother's name. Everything is supposed to be divided
equally between the brothers. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">There are some trust issues between the brothers. The older brother is unresponsive.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The "newly appointed brother" is my PC. He is in possession of the original Will.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thoughts? Experience in handling a probate such as this one?
<o:p></o:p></p>
