Probate

Florida Lawyers in Jacksonville

Whether you are a Florida resident or reside out-of-state, our lawyers can help you administer the estate of a loved one who has passed away. Estates are administered through the Florida circuit courts under the probate division. Not all estates or assets of an estate must go through probate, depending on whether there was a will or a trust and the type of estate planning carried out. As a Personal Representative assigned to the estate by the court, our attorneys will assist you in all stages of the administration process, which include:

Initial filing
Accounting for estate
Payment of Taxes

Payment of Creditors
Closing the Estate
Distribution of Assets

Our law firm also represents beneficiaries of estates to safeguard their interests during probate administration. As lawyers, we are sensitive to our clients needs and provide compassion and understanding to guide them through what for most is a difficult time of loss.
