Probate and Estate Administration
Have you ever lost someone you love and then realized the world still demands decisions you are not ready to make. Banks freeze accounts, creditors send letters, property must be secured, and relatives suddenly have opinions about what is fair. You are grieving, yet you are expected to act with precision, meet deadlines, and protect assets that belong to an estate, not to emotions. This is where families fracture, not from lack of love, but from confusion, pressure, and avoidable mistakes that create suspicion. Probate is the process that brings lawful order after loss, and it must be handled correctly to protect the estate and the people responsible for it. Come to The Mayne Law Firm, P.A. because we have guided families through probate before, and we will do it again.
Probate and estate administration is the court supervised process of settling a person’s legal and financial affairs after death. We guide personal representatives and families through opening the estate, identifying and securing assets, providing required notices, resolving creditor claims, handling real estate and title issues, addressing homestead and exempt property, distributing assets to beneficiaries or heirs, and closing the estate properly. When disputes arise, we represent clients in will contests, claims of undue influence, challenges to capacity, and litigation involving fiduciary misconduct or missing assets. Our goal is lawful administration, timely distribution, and protection against avoidable liability. Relevant Florida Statutes include Chapters 731 through 735 (Florida Probate Code and administration procedures), and key substantive provisions in Chapters 732 and 733, Florida Statutes.
