Probate litigation includes guardianship disputes, will and trust disputes, involuntary hospitalizations, and competency hearings. A large estate usually results in litigation if there is no will. Families may dispute a will or trust after a loved one passes away. Any financial or property issues require probate litigation. There are unique rules and moving parts for each type. The estate planning process is not always straightforward, and disputes may arise even when the decedent had a solid estate plan. mlaw’s probate litigation attorneys handle disputes involving wills, trusts, or other aspects of probate law.
There are two types of actual probate administration in Florida: summary and formal administration. For smaller estates, summary administration may be an option. To qualify for summary administration, either the decedent must be dead for more than two years, or the total value of the probate estate, excluding the value of the exempt property, may not exceed $75,000. Formal administration starts with a petition to open the estate and the appointment of a personal representative to administer the estate properly.
