Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a probate lawyer and an estate lawyer?

chevron icon

A probate lawyer focuses on guiding clients through the legal process that occurs after someone passes away, ensuring that the estate is administered according to the will or Florida law. A Florida estate lawyer, on the other hand, may also help clients plan ahead by drafting wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents to avoid probate altogether.

How do I know if I need an estate attorney?

You may need an estate attorney in Florida if you want to:

  • Create a will or trust
  • Appoint a guardian for your minor children
  • Avoid probate through proper asset planning
  • Designate someone to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated

What happens if someone dies without a will in Florida?

When someone dies without a will in Florida, their estate is distributed according to the state’s intestacy laws. This means that assets pass to close relatives in a specific legal order, typically starting with a spouse and children, then parents, siblings, and more distant relatives. Without a valid will, a probate court will appoint a personal representative to administer the estate.
