What Is Probate Law?

Probate is a legal procedure that necessitates the interpretation of a deceased individual's will and the distribution of their assets to their successors after their demise. If there are any outstanding taxes or debts, the court will use a portion of the estate's funds to cover these responsibilities. Probate court can often be a long, tedious process, requiring the appointment of an executor to handle responsibilities such as signing documents, appearing in court when necessary, and fulfilling other duties. Furthermore, it's often a complex process that can leave the bereaved family feeling overwhelmed without the guidance of a well-versed probate lawyer to navigate them through any legal complications, like disputes over the will. At Klein & Fortune PA in Florida, we wield a team of understanding probate lawyers ready to assist. Connect with our office today!

What If My Loved One Died Without a Will?

When a loved one passes away without a will or other legal provisions in place for their assets, Florida state law becomes the decider in distributing the estate to rightful beneficiaries. It typically falls upon the closest relative, or next of kin, to step forward as the representative of the estate. This complex legal scenario, known as intestate succession, often requires more intricate handling compared to the usual probate process. As such, it is wise for the representative to engage the service of a probate lawyer to navigate through potential challenges. If you find yourself facing such a circumstance, Klein & Fortune PA in Florida stands ready to guide you with the highest level of compassion and understanding. Our seasoned team of probate lawyers is prepared to illuminate the probate process for you. Determine what Klein & Fortune PA can offer you and your family by booking a session with one of our probate lawyers today.
