Our Services

Comprehensive Probate & Estate Legal Services

From straightforward probate administration to complex estate disputes, we provide experienced legal guidance tailored to your family's situation.

Navigating the legal requirements after a loved one's death can feel overwhelming. Our attorneys bring decades of experience in Florida probate and estate law, providing clear guidance and steady support at every stage. Below is a detailed overview of the services we offer.

Probate Administration

Guiding executors through every stage of the court process.

When a loved one passes away, their estate often must go through probate — the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets under court supervision. Our attorneys guide executors and administrators through every step, from filing the initial petition to obtaining the final court order closing the estate.

Note: We handle both testate (with a will) and intestate (without a will) estates, as well as contested probate matters.

What We Handle

Filing the petition to open the estate
Appointment of executor or administrator
Notifying heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors
Inventorying and appraising estate assets
Paying valid debts, taxes, and expenses
Distributing assets to beneficiaries
Petitioning the court to close the estate

Estate Administration

Managing the full scope of a loved one's estate efficiently and correctly.

Estate administration encompasses all the tasks required to settle a deceased person's affairs — not just the court-supervised probate process, but also asset transfers, tax filings, creditor negotiations, and final distributions. Our team helps families navigate these responsibilities with clarity and efficiency.

Note: We work closely with CPAs and financial advisors to ensure all tax and financial obligations are properly addressed.

What We Handle

Identifying and securing all estate assets
Transferring real property and titled assets
Coordinating with financial institutions
Filing final income and estate tax returns
Negotiating and resolving creditor claims
Preparing accountings for beneficiaries
Facilitating final distributions

Trust Administration

Helping trustees fulfill their duties with confidence.

When a trust becomes irrevocable — typically upon the death of the grantor — the trustee takes on significant legal responsibilities. Our attorneys assist trustees in understanding their duties, interpreting trust documents, managing trust assets, and distributing property to beneficiaries in full compliance with the law.

Note: Trustees have a fiduciary duty to beneficiaries. We help you fulfill that duty correctly and protect yourself from personal liability.

What We Handle

Reviewing and interpreting trust documents
Notifying beneficiaries of their rights
Inventorying and managing trust assets
Preparing trust accountings
Handling trustee succession and removal
Distributing assets to beneficiaries
Advising on trustee duties and liability
