Probate

Steady guidance through Florida probate, so an estate can be settled and closed properly.

When someone passes away, the legal process that follows can feel like the last thing anyone has the energy for. Meeghan guides personal representatives and families through Florida probate, handling the filings, the deadlines, and the details so the estate can be settled properly.

Not every estate takes the same path. Some qualify for summary administration, a shorter and less expensive process. Others require formal administration, where the court appoints a personal representative and the estate is settled under court supervision. Part of the first conversation is figuring out which route fits.

Probate also reaches people who do not live in Florida. If a loved one owned property or assets here, a separate Florida proceeding called ancillary administration is often required, even when the main estate is being handled in another state.
