I would recommend you consult with a local attorney or firm specializing in elder care issues (on this and your other posted question).

Auburngirl99, curious what you mean by "pursue anything"? Meaning, distribute to family? Depending on your city/county estate limit as to whether probate is needed or not.


If probate is needed, as to speed of getting everything done depends on how busy your county or city is with regard to probate. My Dad's estate went into probate and it took almost two years, so the estate still had to do yearly income taxes on "income producing items" such as stocks/bonds, etc. The county was quite backlogged with probate cases.

"How much does an estate have to be worth to go to probate in Alabama?
Most states have a “small estates” rule that allows you to avoid probate entirely, as long as the estate value doesn't pass a certain threshold. In Alabama, if an estate doesn't have any real property and the value doesn't exceed $25,000, after waiting 30 days, you can use what's known as a summary probate procedure."
