Q. Am PR for 3 years and feel need to make attorney change. Can I lawfully seek legal consult with others before firing?

November 6, 2024

A: Yes, you will have to pay their fees and accumulated and fire them, the issue that arises is that you will also need to pay for the new attorney to get caught up and review matters and then work on progressing the probate onward from that point. You can always pay an attorney for a review and or consultation on matters. Unless overly complicated and lots of litigation and issues ongoing, and you would know best based on what has happened, but 3 plus years is a long time for a probate, even a formal probate with various issues.

Q. As I am PR for almost 3yrs for my late father’s estate, am I entitled to see all filings on docket for probate case?

October 31, 2024

A: You should be getting every single document that is filed ongoing from your probate attorney if you are the named Personal Representative in the Probate Case approved as such by the judge. If you are not being updated and getting documents there is indeed a problem, this is the job of your probate attorney, keep you informed and updated with all filings and court documents ongoing.

Q. My mother passed away in 2011. I never had the deed transferred in my name. How do I get the deed in my name?

October 24, 2024

A: You will need to have the deed reviewed and you will need to see what interest if any your siblings transferred to you. If the property is in your mom's name still, some version of probate will be required, you will likely need a Florida Probate Attorney in order to accomplish this potentially. In addition, if there is a Will/Trust then those will need to be reviewed as well.
