Contrary to popular belief, a will may not always completely protect your assets and your family, even if you feel like you have few assets to work with. Estate planning is particularly critical for new parents, second marriages and people concerned about the possible disability or untimely death of themselves or loved ones. Our accomplished legal and financial team will analyze your current assets, help you plan for financial growth, discuss in detail your wishes in the event of disability or death, and then plan and write a trust document that meets all your needs.
Not all probate attorneys handle litigation. In the Tampa, Florida, area we are "the attorneys' attorney" - many of our clients are referrals from other probate lawyers or personal injury attorneys. We are respected for our forceful advocacy on behalf of our clients who want to:
- contest the validity of a will or trust
- object to the qualifications of the personal representative or executor
- sue a trustee for mismanaging a trust (this is called "a breach of fiduciary duty")
- contest a guardianship or conservatorship
After a person dies, the first step is to find the will and/or other trust documents. A lawyer must be hired to represent the estate of the person who passed away. The attorney arranges for probate of the will, files the required court documents to move the will through probate, and represents the personal representative (executor) in court and afterwards while the estate is distributed.
