My mom passed away in December, and I'm the sole beneficiary and executor of her estate in Washington. She left me as the beneficiary of her 401k and had some money in a checking account. I've paid out her burial expenses and last month's rent, but her bank account is locked. I'm required to sign a Washington State affidavit to put her estate in probate, but she has unpaid medical bills. What should I do to access her bank account and 401k without going through probate, and how can I protect these assets from her creditors?

In family court, I want to modify several aspects of child custody. Can I request all modifications at once, and will the judge have a problem with that? Also, how can I prove contempt if my ex is not adhering to the court order regarding visitation times, and what should I ask the judge for punishment? If my ex has a lawyer, do I serve the lawyer or my ex directly, and how many days before the hearing should I serve the papers?

I recently finished my MBA and am considering law school. What study guide do you recommend for the LSAT? Are lawyers with a Juris Doctor considered doctors? Is there a recommended study guide for the bar exam? My long-term goal is to become a JAG officer. What advice do you have for this path? Additionally, what are the pros and cons of working in the civilian sector versus the government as a lawyer? Is an MBA beneficial for getting into a good law firm? Is employment guaranteed once the bar exam is passed? Is law a good field to pursue despite the significant financial investment?
