I'm a lawyer and the worst pro bono case I ever had was a " simple" probate case. Probate in DC is a nightmare. The contested adoption case I handled was far less painful.

Just get a will already, geez.

Wait, how is your house titled? I'm thinking most things pass via JTWROS or by contract.....you don't sound like you actually have much of a probate estate. And do you have life insurance?
