Common Questions

Frequently
Asked Questions

Probate is the court-supervised process of distributing a deceased person's estate. Florida's probate rules are complex, and disputes between beneficiaries, creditors, or family members can arise quickly. An experienced attorney helps ensure the process moves efficiently and that your rights are fully protected.

Yes. A will contest is a legal challenge to the validity of a will — typically on grounds of undue influence, lack of mental capacity, or fraud. If you believe a will does not reflect your loved one's true wishes, our attorneys can evaluate your case and pursue the appropriate action in Florida court.

Trust litigation covers disputes involving the administration or validity of a trust — including claims against a trustee for breach of duty, actions for accountings, surcharge claims, and heirship disputes. We represent both trustees and beneficiaries in these complex, high-stakes matters.

If you believe you were wrongfully excluded from an inheritance, our attorneys can investigate the circumstances and pursue legal remedies on your behalf, including claims for estate fraud, undue influence, or improper administration by the personal representative.

We serve clients on a statewide basis throughout Florida. Our office locations include Tampa, Brandon, Lakeland, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, New Port Richey, and Bradenton, and we litigate matters in courts across all of Florida.
