Probate

We work diligently to speed the probate process along in an effort to allow your family to focus on more important life matters. We deal with all legal matters relating to the probate process including:

• Assisting you in obtaining and completing the documents recognized by the courts when you are appointed as the personal representative/executor of the estate
• Preparing interim and final accountings
• Assisting with payment of debts and taxes
• Helping with distribution of assets of the estate, including bank accounts, brokerage accounts, residences and other types of real estate and closely held businesses

Our lawyers offer assistance for executors in either summary administrations for smaller estates or formal probate administrations for larger, more complicated estates. Whether your loved one died with or without a will, we can help.

Probate Litigation

Our experience drafting wills and estate plans compliments our probate litigation practice. We offer representation for:

• Will contests and will challenges due to undue influence, incompetence or incapacity or other technicalities
• Disputes or arguments concerning the administration of estates
• Removal of personal representatives or executors for negligence or misconduct

Estate Planning

We help clients create comprehensive and individualized estate plans that preserve wealth for their heirs and also guide them in making important decisions about future care. We can explain how a properly written will provides peace of mind and how a revocable living trust can help you avoid probate.

Preplanning with regard to health care directives can be helpful in terms of avoiding expenses and possible court involvement. We are prepared to counsel you in designating a durable power of attorney or healthcare surrogate. Once that person is identified, we will draw up the legal documents for you.

Trust Administration

Your loved one may have established a revocable living trust, an estate plan requiring a trustee's oversight. We can help you comply with the terms of the trust and with Florida law, as well as advise you in the execution of your duties as trustee.
