Frequently Asked Questions
What is probate, and when is it necessary?
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, including distributing assets to beneficiaries and settling outstanding debts. Probate may be necessary if the deceased left behind assets solely in their name or if there are disputes over the validity of the will.
How long does the probate process typically take?
The duration of the probate process can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the estate, the presence of disputes, and state laws. In Florida, the process typically takes six months to a year, but it can take longer in contested cases.
Do I need a probate lawyer?
Hiring a probate lawyer can be beneficial, especially if the estate is complex or if there are disputes among beneficiaries. A probate lawyer can guide you through the process, ensure that all legal requirements are met, and help resolve any conflicts that arise.
What are the responsibilities of an executor?
An executor, also known as a personal representative, is responsible for managing the deceased person’s estate during the probate process. Their duties may include locating assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing property to beneficiaries according to the terms of the will.
Can I contest a will?
Yes, it is possible to contest a will if you believe it is invalid or if you have concerns about its authenticity. However, contesting a will can be complex and challenging, so it’s essential to seek legal advice from an experienced probate attorney.
What happens if someone dies without a will?
If someone dies without a will, their estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy in Florida. This means that the estate will be divided among the deceased person’s closest relatives, such as their spouse, children, or parents, depending on the circumstances.
What is a living will and why do I need one?
A living will, also known as an advance directive, is a legal document that allows you to specify your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event that you become incapacitated and unable to communicate. Having a living will ensures that your healthcare preferences are respected and followed.
Can I make changes to my estate plan after it's been finalized?
Yes, you can make changes to your estate plan at any time by updating your legal documents through a process called amendment or restatement. It’s important to work with an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure that your changes are properly executed and legally valid.
What is probate, and how can I avoid it?
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and subject to public scrutiny. You can avoid probate by implementing strategies such as creating a revocable living trust, designating beneficiaries on your accounts, and making lifetime gifts.
How much does probate cost?
The cost of probate can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the estate, the services provided by the attorney, and court fees. We offer transparent fee structures and will provide you with a detailed estimate during your initial consultation.
