What is Probate Administration?

Probate is the legal process by which the assets are distributed and debts paid upon the death of an individual. How those assets are distributed is dependent upon a number of factors, including Florida law and whether the individual died with or without a will. The probate process involves a number of things, including:

  • Proving to the court overseeing the estate that the will is valid
  • Locating, identifying, and obtaining the deceased persons property
  • Having the property valued or appraised
  • Paying outstanding debts of the deceased person
  • Distributing the remaining property to the beneficiaries

Probate is essential part of what we do. Wherever you re at in the probate process, we re here to help. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.

What is Probate Litigation?

Probate litigation refers to legal disputes that arise during the probate process, which is the court-supervised procedure for administering the estate of a deceased person.

These disputes can involve contested wills, disputes over the distribution of assets, challenges to the validity of a will, claims of undue influence or fraud, and disagreements among heirs or beneficiaries.

Examples of Probate Litigation Cases:

When heirs or beneficiaries challenge the validity of a will, alleging that it was executed under duress, undue influence, or lack of capacity.
Disagreements over the administration or distribution of assets held in a trust, including allegations of breach of fiduciary duty by trustees.

Claims brought by beneficiaries alleging that they were wrongly excluded from an estate or that their rightful share of inheritance was not properly allocated.

  • Family Disputes: In cases where family members or beneficiaries cannot agree on the distribution of assets or the terms of a trust.

Working with a dedicated kind staff was an amazing experience. We were never rushed. Our questions and concerns were answered and explained at length. All staff members made us feel comfortable, no matter how personal creating a will can get. We can’t thank them enough for going beyond our needs and assurance that they are just a phone call away.

Tiera helped me probate my parents' estates that had passed away. She processed all the legal documents to help me release assets from ComputerShare and Empower. Wave Crest is a great firm for quality representation at a fair price.
