A family member dies, and sometime later, you receive legal paperwork in the mail from a probate attorney or court. Maybe you were expecting an inheritance, maybe you weren't—but now you're staring at documents asking you to sign waivers, consents, or acknowledgments. You're unsure what they're for, whether you're legally required to respond, and what could happen if you don’t.

In this episode, we’ll explain why you might receive these documents, what they mean, and how to handle them whether you’re a beneficiary, a legal heir, or just a name on a mailing list.
