Understanding The Probate Process

Posted on | by mP@

probateProbate can often be a convoluted process and to understand the proceedings involved it is best to have an experienced and knowledgeable probate attorney in Coral Springs to guide you.

Reinfeld & Cabrera, probate attorneys in Coral Springs and serving the South Florida area, offer a personalized approach to estate administration and probate. The probate process is a court-supervised proceeding that identifies assets of a deceased person, pays the deceased person’s debts, and distributes the person’s assets to his or her beneficiaries.

Depending on each specific probate process, the proceedings may involve a circuit court judge, an executor, the multiple beneficiaries and creditors of the estate, and a probate attorney to provide legal advice, such as our attorneys from our Coral Springs office, those filing claims in the probate process involving debts incurred by the deceased, and the Internal Revenue Service. The circuit court judge will rule on the validity of the deceased’s will, and will hold hearings as necessary to resolve any questions or disputes that arise during the probate process.

If you wish to avoid the probate process, the probate attorneys at Reinfeld & Cabrera in Coral Springs advise clients to have revocable trusts or properly plan out their estate plans. Trust administration is a similar process to probate, as each requires a responsible party to ensure the estate plan is properly carried out.

The probate attorneys in Coral Springs will make every effort to resolve all disputes related to the administration of either trusts or estates, in order to avoid lawsuits and to make the process less of a hassle to your family. But when issues are not able to be handled outside of court, we have the knowledge and litigation experience to represent you.

Our experienced probate attorneys in Coral Springs will guide you through the entire probate or trust administration process.

Wills, Trusts and Probate

Posted on | by mP@

wills, trusts and probateWe have all heard horror stories about someone dying without having the proper wills and trusts in place. Without the proper estate planning set up, you leave your family in a position where they might have to fight for your estate in probate court, wracking up high fees and eating up a portion of the estate.

Wills and trusts are designed to be put in place while the client is still alive, to ensure that actions are carried out as the person wishes after they have died. While a simple will may be all you need, it will be subject to probate after you die, whereas a living trust will help your family members avoid probate and its fees.

A simple will and testament dictates to whom your property will be given, names a guardian to care for any minor children, names someone to manage assets that have been left to minor children and names an executor of the will – a person with the authority to make sure that the terms of the legally binding document are carried out. However, a basic will does not avoid probate. It is admitted to probate and becomes a part of the public court records.

Probate court proceedings, which deal with the distribution of assets, the validity of wills and ensures all debts have been paid, can take six months to a year and cost up to 5% of your estate in court fees. If you are looking to avoid probate your best bet might be a living trust instead of a will.

A revocable living trust avoids probate because your assets are titled in the name of your trust at the time of your death. Any items not included in the trust at the time of death, will be subject to probate.

Alan Reinfeld and Michael Cabrera are attorneys who specialize in wills and trusts and in all manners of estate planning. We will help you determine what type of planning is necessary in your particular situation and whether a will or a trust would better suit your needs.

What type of estate planning do I need?

Estate Planning

Estate planning requirements are very specific, right down to who can and can’t be a witness to your will or trust. It is a growing trend these days is to use forms found on the Internet or to buy a do-it-yourself estate planning book from a store. But because the particulars are different from state to state, there is a good chance that your estate plan won’t be followed because your will or trust isn’t legally valid if you try to do it yourself.

When considering estate planning, it is extremely important to have the right attorney working for you. Estate planning laws differ from state to state, so you need to have an expert right here in Florida, who knows the specifications of wills, trusts, medical or financial power of attorney, to make sure your estate is handled exactly how you wish.
