estate laywer

Do you mean the attorney who helped the decedent write the decedent's will and other documents or the attorney who will help during the probate of the estate. The attorneys do not have to be the same person.

Finding out who helped the decedent write out the will can be difficult or not. Sometimes, the information about the attorney is right on the pages of the will. Sometimes, the identity of the attorney can be discovered by looking through the decedent's bank records or credit card statement. The longer ago the will was prepared the less likely that the statements would still be in the decedent's papers.

Many agencies that regulate attorneys also publish periodicals that are sent to all attorneys in the relevant state. Anyone can buy an ad to be published in the periodicals. Running an ad with the decedent's name and perhaps some interesting details may bring out the identity of the attorney who prepared the will.

If you mean finding out who handles the probate, many documents file with the court handling the probate would have the name and contact information of the attorney of record.
