Probate/Estate

The process of probate typically accompanies a painful emotional loss. As a knowledgeable Orlando probate attorney, I can assist you with the probate administration of your loved one’s estate.

Orlando Probate Attorney

Most personal representatives have never or only rarely probated a will and know little about the process. I can assist and advise you through the probate process, including:

  • Filing the Will with the appropriate Florida circuit probate court
  • Developing the best strategy for fairly and expeditiously probating the estate
  • Finding and collecting assets
  • Closing and opening bank accounts
  • Transferring assets from the deceased to the estate
  • Paying estate taxes
  • Valuing, managing, preserving and liquidating the estate
  • Locating beneficiaries
  • Hiring experts, when appropriate to assist in accomplishing these tasks

Probate Disputes

Even for seemingly straightforward estates, disputes between beneficiaries sometimes arise. I can assist as necessary, during the process of probating a challenged will or disputed personal representative decision. I prefer resolution when possible, without litigation. However, when the situation requires, I can assist with litigation, if appropriate.
