Estate Planning

Quality estate planning in Florida is more than just a matter of drafting legal documents. When it comes to trusts and estate planning that achieves what you want it to, you need a Florida estate planning lawyer who can help you define your goals and counsel you toward a strategy that will achieve those goals.

In today’s world traditional estate planning, with a will and designated beneficiaries, is not enough. Alone, these things will not protect your estate from probate fees, creditors, taxes or unscrupulous people — they will not guarantee that your estate will pass to the people you want it to pass to.

At Stross Law Firm, P.A., based in Oldsmar, Florida, our estate planning lawyer has almost 40 years of experience helping individuals and families protect their estates through estate plans that successfully achieve their goals and dreams.

Probate Administration

The Probate Process in Florida

Probate is the process of assembling the assets (property, belongings, investments, etc.) of a deceased person, paying the creditors of the deceased and any taxes owed on the assets, and distributing remaining assets to the person’s heirs.

The process of probate begins by filing the deceased person’s will and a Petition for Administration with the probate court. This is usually done by the person named as the Personal Representative or executor in the will. If the deceased person does not have a will, usually a family member files the Petition for Administration. A creditor can also initiate probate in some cases.
