The last thing vulnerable family members want to face after the loss of a loved one is a storm of legal and courtroom proceedings. Everyone in Florida is required to undergo the process of Probate in order to have the decedent’s assets distributed to him or her. This legal and administrative process can add to the grieving process and quickly turn bitter with conflicting family interests. There is potential for countless pitfalls to be encountered along the way, which can be costly and heartbreaking. Choosing a caring and knowledgeable attorney to correctly advise and steer individuals in the right direction can alleviate these issues.
Michael Wild, the managing partner of Wild Felice, and Partners, PA., a firm specializing in Estate Planning ( http://wfplaw.com/ ), Asset Protection, and Probate explains, “The process of Probate ( http://wfplaw.com/ ) is a very complex area of law that requires specific information and formalities in order to get an estate settled.” Michael adds, “It’s important to have legal counsel to ensure everything is properly done from filing the decedent’s Will in court to notifying the appropriate heirs, creditors and the public. The deceased person’s property must be identified and appraised as well as all debts paid off, including estate taxes. The Will must be validated by the court so the estate can finally be distributed and one must keep afloat with all necessary court filings and appearances.” With all of the formalities involved, there is just no room for mistakes.
Michael states, “We understand that this is a very trying and difficult time for family members. The goal is to seek probate resolution in a timely and efficient manner so loved ones can focus on coping with the reality of their loss. Unlike most attorneys who charge an hourly rate of $300-800 an hour, our firm charges the statutory rate of 3%, and we discount that fee further for our past estate planning clients. People need to know they are not alone and that help is out there. We handle everything for our clients including filing thedecedent’s tax returns, minimizing estate taxes, and avoiding unnecessary estate litigation.” Utilizing the services of an attorney ensures every conceivable possibility is accounted forthat is not readily apparent to beneficiaries of an estate.
Handling the probate of an estate is destined to be a stressful, worrisome, and expensive process if not handled correctly. Seeking legal representation can mitigate these harsh effects and ensures a smoother ride through the probate administration process.
Michael Wild and the lawyers at Wild Felice & Partners, PA offer free consultations for both estate planning and probate administration.
