Probate
When an individual dies in Florida, probate proceedings are often required to validate the person’s will, process the estate, and carry out the individual’s final wishes. If you are involved in a probated estate, our firm is happy to help you navigate this complex process as quickly and efficiently as possible.
About Probate
Several tasks must be accomplished in probate before the estate can be closed. For example, the deceased person’s will must be validated, debts must be paid, and the remaining estate assets must be distributed to heirs. In most cases, a personal representative will be appointed by the court to oversee the estate. The individual appointed may be named in the deceased person’s will or determined by the court itself.
When someone dies without a will, the process can be more complicated. All of the same tasks will be completed, but they will be carried out based on state law instead of the deceased person’s instructions.
Our Services
Our firm’s goal in probate cases is to help you understand the process and complete it as quickly as possible. We typically represent individuals who have been named as estate administrators or personal representatives. However, we can also provide advice or legal services to other people who have an interest in a probated estate.
If you need probate services in Broward or Palm Beach County, we want to help. Please contact Michael A. Swinton, P.A. to set up an appointment at our Miami office.
