Estate Administration From Start To Finish

We have a simple philosophy at Doran Sims Wolfe & Yoon – make sure our clients are well informed and well counseled every step of the way. We’ve taken on a wide variety of probate cases throughout our careers and we understand that each case is different. Generally speaking, probate is the process by which an estate is administered and the assets of the deceased are distributed. For estate administration, the framework is as follows:

• Will validity: The first step in that process is to determine that the will meets the requirements of Florida law.
• Collection of assets: One it has been determined by the court that the will is valid, our team helps the family members collect and inventory all of the assets of the estate. This can often be a challenging process, depending on the size and scope of the estate.
• Debts and taxes: One of the most important aspects following the collection of assets is the payment of debts and taxes associated with the estate. At Doran Sims Wolfe & Yoon, we place a premium on staying up to date on all local, state, and federal statutes involving estate taxes and debts to ensure that the families we work with are adhering to their legal obligations while retaining all of the assets of the estate they are entitled to receive.
• Asset allocation: Once the taxes and debts are paid, the assets are divided among the beneficiaries of the estate as provided in the will. Only an experienced probate lawyer can complete this process properly. Our trained team has years of probate experience and understands the intricacies of the process.
