Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to write a will in Florida?
Florida has specific signing/witnessing requirements — an attorney helps ensure your will won’t be challenged.
How long does probate take in Florida?
Simple estates often resolve in a few months; larger or contested estates may take a year or more.
What happens if someone dies without a will?
Florida’s intestacy laws determine distribution, which may not match what your loved one would have wanted.
What’s the difference between guardianship and power of attorney?
A power of attorney is set up in advance; guardianship is a court process used once someone can no longer decide for themselves.
