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.
