Palm Beach Florida Wills and Probate

Wills, estate management, and probate lawyers

Are you a personal representative or a beneficiary of an estate?

Whether or not the decedent had a will, the primary way to transfer assets from the name of the deceased to the beneficiaries is to go through the probate process. Probate, the court’s oversight of the distribution of the estate’s assets, is generally needed to gain access to bank accounts or to re-title real property. This process may seem simple, but it can often touch on sensitive family issues and can become difficult to manage. In the state of Florida, this process of handling wills and probate should never be attempted without the assistance of an attorney.
