FAQ
Probate is the legal process of administering and distributing a deceased person’s estate. It is typically necessary when the deceased had assets in their name alone, without designated beneficiaries or joint ownership. Probate ensures that debts are paid, assets are distributed, and legal title to property is transferred to the appropriate heirs or beneficiaries.
The duration of the probate process varies based on the complexity of the estate, any potential disputes, and local court procedures. In Florida, an uncontested probate case can take around six to nine months, while more complex cases may take longer. Our experienced probate attorneys work diligently to expedite the process whenever possible.
While it is possible to navigate the probate process without an attorney, it is highly recommended to seek legal counsel, especially for complex cases or when disputes arise. An experienced probate attorney can provide invaluable guidance, ensure legal requirements are met, and help protect your interests.
Yes, a will can be contested during probate if there are valid reasons to challenge its validity. Common grounds for contesting a will include allegations of undue influence, fraud, lack of capacity, or improper execution. Contesting a will requires legal expertise, and our attorneys are well-prepared to handle such cases.
Probate costs may include court fees, attorney fees, executor fees, appraisal costs, and more. These costs vary depending on the complexity of the estate and the specific circumstances. Our firm provides transparent fee structures and works closely with clients to manage costs effectively.
Yes, it is possible to avoid probate through various estate planning strategies, such as establishing trusts, designating beneficiaries, and creating joint ownership arrangements. Our experienced attorneys can help you explore these options to minimize the probate process’s impact on your estate.
Yes, in certain circumstances, it is possible to remove an executor or personal representative. Grounds for removal may include mismanagement of estate assets, conflicts of interest, or failure to perform their duties. Our attorneys can guide you through this process if necessary.
If there is no will (intestate), Florida law dictates how the deceased’s assets are distributed. Typically, assets will pass to the closest surviving relatives, such as spouses, children, or parents. Our firm can assist in administering intestate estates and guiding beneficiaries through the process.
Yes, if you believe the distribution of assets in probate is unfair or not in compliance with the law, you can challenge it. Our experienced probate attorneys can assess your case and advise you on the best course of action to protect your interests.
