Helping You Deal With Probate In Florida
After the loss of a loved one, the estate must be distributed to intended beneficiaries. The beneficiaries will receive this property according to any estate planning documents that the deceased had in place prior to passing, and if no such documents existed, according to Florida’s intestacy laws.
The process of collecting an estate, paying off the estate’s debts and transferring the remaining assets to those entitled is called probate. Probate is often very frustrating to many families, as it can be a very lengthy ordeal. It is important to have an experienced lawyer working with you to ensure that things are handled correctly at each stage.
The law firm of Daniel W. Uhlfelder, P.A., in Santa Rosa Beach, has more than three decades of combined legal experience working with complex legal issues. Our attorney and staff will work together with you to put you in a position to go through the probate process as efficiently as possible.
