Legal needs can arise at any time and often not be expected. Not every legal issue involves a lawsuit or the courts, and in fact some legal actions can prevent the need for the courts to be involved later. How involved things are, and what is required to address an issue, depends on the particular circumstances of the situation. That is part of the job of an attorney, to take the facts of the situation someone is in and determine what options there are... No one likes to think about death, but failing to do so can make an already difficult time even harder for loved ones. No one likes to go to court. Even many lawyers would rather avoid having to go to court if possible. But sometimes there is no choice but for the court to be involved. This can be very confusing and overwhelming, especially when already grieving.
