Probate
Probate is the court-supervised process required to give effect to a will and dispose of the property in an estate that is not otherwise distributed through other means. Probate has a reputation for being a complicated, time-consuming process. With our guidance and support, probate can be completed faster and easier, with less expense to the estate and a speedier resolution for heirs and beneficiaries. Our Tampa probate attorneys help with both domiciliary proceedings when a Florida resident dies as well as ancillary proceedings when an individual dies outside of Florida while owning real property located in the state. We advise and assist estate representatives in the applicable and appropriate proceeding for the estate, including formal administration, summary administration, and disposition of personal property without administration.
Elder Care
Our elder care planning services help you plan and prepare for long-term care expenses such as nursing home care without financial exhaustion. With proper planning, you can afford the care you need for yourself or a loved one while still keeping your home and your savings, providing you with adequate living expenses and the ability to leave an inheritance despite the high cost of long-term care. Our Tampa elder care attorneys help families with elder care planning before it is needed and also provide urgent crisis planning when a family member needs immediate attention and the means to pay for care.

Guardianship
When a person starts to lose mental faculties due to age-related memory disorders or some other illness or injury, guardianship can help ensure that their personal healthcare and financial affairs are looked after responsibly. Our Tampa guardianship attorneys help people seeking guardianship for themselves or others through the process of petitioning the court and attending the court hearing so that the guardianship is crafted to meet the individual’s particular needs.
