A probate attorney can spare your heirs the often slow, lengthy, and expensive process by preparing your will as validation and authorization for distributing your estate as you specified. Without a will, the distribution process is delayed and routed to further administrative proceedings where a judge will determine what to do with your estate.
Probate laws vary from state to state, but regardless of where you live, probate tends to be a slow and costly process — especially if the will is contested. Probate costs may include attorney fees, executor fees, and administrative expenses. Some cases have gone on for years with charges accumulating. Probate is also public record — all case materials become accessible to anyone.
A Florida probate attorney at The Berman Law Group knows Florida's specific mandates and can prepare or update your will so your estate can be administered more efficiently. Your estate planning attorney in Boca Raton can advise you on the management and distribution of assets, estate taxes, charitable trusts, guardianships, protection from creditors, and more.
An attorney can discuss your specific circumstances and present options such as establishing a living trust to avoid probate entirely. There are several ways to prevent probate — including giving away assets while you are alive, owning property jointly, and setting up accounts payable upon death. The Berman Law Group's probate attorneys in Boca Raton will review all costs and options to advise you on the best path for your estate.
