As an experienced Florida probate lawyer and attorney, we understand the emotional issues that become involved in Florida probate litigation, estate litigation, and
trust litigation, whether the issues involve will contests, will disputes, inheritance disputes, probate litigation or estate litigation for removal of a personal representative or executor from a Florida probate estate, or trust litigation for removal of a trustee of a trust, for trust modification or trust reformation, for removal of a personal representative or a trustee for breach of fiduciary duty by a trustee or personal representative, or a will or trust challenge based on irregularities in the formal requirements for the execution of Florida wills or trusts, forgeries, the exercise of undue influence in the procuring of a Florida last will and testament or revocable living trust, the FL will maker or trust maker's lack of capacity or inability to understand the contents of a Florida last will and testament or revocable living trust, the improper administration of a Florida probate estate or revocable trust by the Florida personal representative or the trustee, or inheritance disputes that arise between the surviving spouse and the children of previous marriages, especially where the Florida spousal elective share or an inheritance through intestacy may be involved. Our Florida probate litigation lawyers and estate litigation attorneys are also experienced in pursuing legal actions and lawsuits for abuse of the power of attorney laws or other violations of FL probate law, estate law and trust law.

Our legal fees for representing you in the Florida probate courts for the administration of a probate estate or a trust administration will depend on the facts and circumstances of your particular case. Often our probate attorney, trust lawyer, and estate settlement attorney will work on a flat fee or fixed fee basis. Other times, a probate lawyer's or trust attorney's hourly rates are appropriate.  Regardless of the method by which your fees are calculated, you will have a signed written agreement setting forth in clear terms what your fee arrangement is with our law firm.

In appropriate
probate litigation, estate litigation, or will contests or trust litigation, our Florida probate litigation and estate litigation attorney and trust litigation lawyer will consider working on a contingent fee basis, which means there is no legal fee if there is no recovery for you.

In particular, if your Florida probate estate administration, whether a formal administration, a summary administration or an ancillary administration, is for the sole purpose of a real estate probate, i.e., transferring title to real property, our Florida probate lawyer or estate settlement attorney usually will work on a fixed fee basis, so that you will know from the beginning of our legal representation exactly what your total probate legal fees will be for our representation of you in the Florida probate process.

If you need a Florida law firm for legal representation in the Florida probate courts to probate a will, for a Florida probate administration, whether formal administration, summary administration, or ancillary administration, or for a Florida trust administration, a Florida guardianship, or for probate information about FL probate law, please
