Probate

The Farr Law Firm's probate attorneys are knowledgeable and experienced in guiding clients through all aspects of the probate process as it is defined by Florida law.  Probate is the legal process by which a person’s debts are identified, provisions are made for payment, and assets are distributed upon his or her death. 

Compassionate and Understanding Representation in Probate Matters

Farr’s probate lawyers understand that the tasks faced by the personal representatives and beneficiaries can be daunting, especially when combined with the grief of losing a loved one.  These dedicated and experienced probate attorneys willingly support their clients with understanding and compassion until the probate is completed.

Administration of the Estate under Florida Probate Law and Pertinent Federal Statutes

Farr attorneys are adept at working with the most complex Florida probate law, as well as applicable federal statutes, to create all the necessary documents to obtain letters of administration; to aid in identifying, collecting and valuing the assets of the estate; to file required Federal estate tax and gift tax returns; to ensure that creditors are paid; to distribute the assets, and finally, to file closing documents.  The probate lawyers at Farr have decades of experience with different Florida asset distribution techniques, including deeding real estate, retitling investment accounts, and liquidating property to allow for cash distributions.

Dealing with Claims, Disputes, and Lawsuits in Probate Litigation

There are times when legal issues can arise during the course of administering an estate that result in claims and disputes which can require the counsel of Farr’s experienced trial lawyers.  These probate litigation attorneys are skilled in resolving these disputes, either through alternative dispute resolution or probate litigation.
