Across both estates, I reviewed every claim and demanded documentation. The creditors couldn't substantiate $35,631 in claims. That money stays with the families. (4/5)
Alabama law gives you the right to contest creditor claims. A creditor filing a claim is not the same as proving a claim. If they lack the documentation to substantiate what they say they're owed, you don't have to pay it. (3/5)
When someone dies with debts, creditors file claims against the estate. Most executors (and some attorneys) pay every claim that comes in without questioning it. That's a mistake. (2/5)
Yesterday I saved two clients a combined $35,631 in creditor claims against their family members' estates. In one day. Here's why this matters if you're going through probate in Alabama. (1/5)

SB 292 creates a Title Fraud Recovery Fund, requires enhanced identity verification for remote closings, and gives probate judges authority to set up owner-notification services. Passed unanimously in both chambers. (3/4)

If you die without a will in Alabama, the state decides who gets your property. Not your family. Not your wishes. The Alabama intestate succession statute.
Unmarried partners receive zero under Alabama intestate law. It does not matter if you lived together for 20 years. It does not matter if you raised children together. Without a will, the law treats you as strangers.
A basic estate plan prevents the state from making these decisions for your family. Key Law LLC helps Huntsville families put the right documents in place.

Your father passed away four months ago. The house is sitting empty. The bank won't release the accounts. You're paying the mortgage out of your own pocket. This is Alabama probate working exactly as designed.
The good news: probate is avoidable. A revocable living trust, properly funded, transfers assets in weeks instead of months. No court. No public record. No waiting.
If you're planning ahead, let's keep your family out of probate entirely. Schedule at keylawllc.com/scheduleasessi… or call (256) 715-5711.
