Probate Services
The Cases We Handle for Your Clients
From urgent estate openings tied to personal injury settlements to formal probate and trust administration, we handle the Florida matters attorneys most often need to refer with confidence.
Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Estates
We work alongside personal injury and wrongful death attorneys to open and administer estates when probate is required to receive a settlement or judgment, helping cases move forward without unnecessary delay.
Formal Administration
Full-service representation through the Florida formal probate process, including petitions, creditor notice, asset inventory, administration, and distribution.
Summary Administration
Streamlined probate for qualifying estates — often a strong fit for smaller estates or matters involving a decedent who passed more than two years ago.
Ancillary Administration
Florida ancillary probate for out-of-state decedents who owned Florida real property or other Florida-based assets at the time of death.
Trust Administration
For estates where a revocable trust is central to the plan, we guide successor trustees through administration, creditor matters, and distributions under Florida law.
Complex Probate Matters
We regularly assist with blended families, out-of-state heirs, multi-asset estates, and other probate matters that require calm guidance, careful communication, and a steady hand.
ATTORNEY FAQ
Questions from Referring Attorneys
We want the referral process to feel natural. Here are the questions attorneys ask us most often before sending their first case.
For urgent matters, particularly PI and wrongful death cases with many moving parts and interested parties involved, we can often have the petition drafted and filed within a week of engagement. Time lines vary based on client availability and case complexity, but we will move as fast as possible to help you meet your deadlines.
A brief summary of the situation, the decedent’s county of residence at death, a rough estimate of the estate assets, whether there was a will, and status of any pending litigation. We will take it from there at no charge for the consultation.
Yes. Out-of-state heirs and representatives are common in Florida probate and trust administration. We’re experienced in managing family dynamics, logistics, and heritage communication across multiple states, and sometimes countries. If there are out-of-state assets, we can assist in coordinating an ancillary administration with out-of-state legal representation.
