What I am asking once the lawyer is at the country clerk to file the will,thereafter is a court date provided when to enter the will in probate court to probate it. But is filing it just step one and next you appear in probate court to complete the process. No one is contesting the will and mainly I wish to know once you show up to file the will with probate court,what happens next > Thank you in advance.
Depending on the state, generally they confirm the validity of the will, review and qualify the executor, and review the conditions and expectations for closing the estate; inventory, submitting claims, dispursal of remaining assets….The estate is very small. Mom only left some items to her friend and appointed me executor,the friend is ok with what I told she will get and the rest pertains to me.The state is TN.

2 seconds.

The length of time it takes for the lawyer, or his/her secretary, to hand it to the court clerk, for them to stamp it, and to enter it inot the computer as filed. Then it usually goes in a basket and another court clerk goes and finds the file, or creates a new file, if it is a new case, and puts the original hard copy in it.
