10 probate attorneys serve Birmingham. They take estates through administration — proving the will, appointing an executor, inventorying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing what remains — and litigate will contests and claims against executors.
Ask how the fee is calculated before you engage anyone. Percentage-of-estate fees, hourly billing and flat fees produce very different totals on a mid-sized estate.
If you are serving as executor, get advice before distributing anything. The duties are personal and so is the exposure.
Lawyers listed in Birmingham also cover Personal Injury (80), Products Liability (44) and Business Law (31). The same practice elsewhere in Alabama: Huntsville (7). Across Alabama the directory lists 17 attorneys in this practice; Birmingham is 1st by their number among 2 cities.
