Probate Lawyer in Estero, Florida

Navigation of the complexities of estate administration with professional efficiency and sensitive guidance is Kimberly’s goal throughout the probate process.

Probate is a court proceeding by which the assets in a deceased person’s sole name at their death are transferred in accordance with the instructions in the decedent’s Last Will and Testament or in accordance with Florida law if the deceased person has no Will. Probate involves a series of many steps which are established by Florida law and overseen by a judge.

Kimberly understands that when a person passes, the loss is often overwhelming for the family. She strives to make the legal process as light a burden as possible for the individuals involved in probate.

In an initial consultation, Kimberly reviews with her clients whether probate is necessary and which type of probate must be filed. Florida probate law requires representation by an attorney, except in a very narrow set of circumstances. In Florida, the person in charge of the probate process is called the Personal Representative.

Kimberly assists the Personal Representative in a Formal Probate with complying with Florida law and taking the required actions.
