Living Wills
A living will allows you to designate someone to make medical decisions on your behalf in cases of incapacitation — different from a last will and testament, which reveals your last wishes regarding how assets will be divided among your beneficiaries. Our lawyers can also assist with proving or contesting a will in court.
Trusts
There is a variety of different trusts that may be best suited for a client including a living or revocable trust, irrevocable trust, support trust for children, charitable trust or insurance trust — we can help you determine the best course of action for your goals and needs. Speak to a Florida probate attorney to make sure you’re prepared with the knowledge you need.
Business Succession

Our West Palm probate attorneys help protect your life’s work by appointing a successor of your choosing. The helps to avoid tax complications while ensuring that personal and business estates remain separate.
Probate Litigation
Our probate litigation lawyers can assist with the court process of transferring assets owned by the decedent at the time of death. They can assist with contesting or proving the validity of a last will and testament, paying off creditors or unsettled taxes, distributing assets to beneficiaries, and navigating the court process (if required).
Our Process
Getting Organized
First, we’ll need to get to know you and your situation. This includes information gathering, setting up your account, and organizing everything we’ll need to open the probate.
Initial Administration
The heavy lifting comes during the probate administration process in which your attorney drafts and files all court documentation.
Claims Management & Distributions
Home stretch, this is when we handle paying off all claims of the estate, filing the final inventory, and distributing the assets to the estate’s beneficiaries.
Estate Closing
The last step once everything else is settled where we finalize everything and formally close out the probate.
