What Is Probate?
Probate is the court-supervised process of administering a deceased person’s estate—distributing assets, paying debts, and guiding beneficiaries on next steps. In Florida, the process can be complex depending on the size of the estate, whether a valid will exists, and whether any conflicts arise among heirs.

We assist personal representatives (executors) with all aspects of estate administration, from filing the will and inventorying assets to distributing inheritances and closing the estate.
-
Guidance for Heirs & Beneficiaries
We protect your rights as a beneficiary and help ensure you receive what you’re entitled to under Florida law or the decedent’s will.

For smaller estates, we help clients qualify for Florida’s streamlined summary administration process—saving time, money, and stress.
-
Creditor Claims & Debt Resolution
