Sensitive to Your Needs
We understand how challenging it is to think about probating a loved one’s estate. Attorney Gary Landau is always sensitive to each client’s emotional needs as well as their legal and financial ones. Moving forward with a probate soon after a person has passed away is never easy, but doing so ensures that you legally acquire the assets your beloved relative or friend wanted you to have.
In many cases, a probate should be done soon after the person’s death. But there are some cases where it makes sense to wait. The Law Office of Gary M. Landau will discuss all aspects of probate law with you and will advise you what timetable makes the most sense for you.
Helping You Understand the Process
Whether the person who passed away had previously worked with an estate planning lawyer and had a valid will or did not, experienced estate attorney Gary Landau will work to enable the estate to pass the assets to family members, friends, and/or charities according to the person’s will or Florida law as swiftly as possible.
The law firm is committed to carefully explaining all aspects of probate to you, so you can feel confident in the process and that your interests are well represented during all the various steps in the probate process.
Various Types of Probate
Florida courts designate several different types of probate, largely depending on the size of the estate and on how long the person is deceased.
The most common types of probate are:
- Formal administration, for estates over $75,000 and within two years of the person’s passing, and
- Summary administration, for smaller or older estates.
Also, an ancillary administration is needed when the person lived in another state but had property in Florida. In certain rare instances, a disposition without administration can be used.
The Law Office of Gary M. Landau will help you determine which type of probate is right for you.
Get Your Inheritance as Quickly as Possible
Once you have retained the Law Firm of Gary M. Landau we work hard to ensure that your estate will be probated by the courts as quickly as possible. This holds true whether this is a large estate requiring a full administration or a smaller or older estate using a summary administration.
Of course, all probates are subject to the timetable of the courts. But we do our best to ensure that the probate process is continually moving forward towards a closing.
Most Florida estates are not of large enough size to require paying federal estate taxes. How large the estate needs to be subject to this federal tax changes frequently, but is typically millions of dollars. Estates that require the payment of federal estate taxes do typically take longer to probate.
