Probate
Experienced and Knowledgeable Probate Attorney in Stuart, Florida
Our team at the Law Offices of Travis R. Walker, PA, offers two distinct probate services. We offer probate services tailored to individuals and families who are dealing with a deceased individual’s estate plan or personal injury case as well as probate services specifically for attorneys who need executors or local counsel to assist with estates.
Probate Work for Individuals
Everyone’s probate administration needs are different for many reasons. In many cases, a loved one passes on and leaves his or her estate behind. The individual’s estate then goes into “probate” before the individual’s assets are addressed and/or dispersed. This is when an attorney steps in. Furthermore, the probate process in Florida requires several steps:
- Order death certificates
- Gather and appraise property
- File the will in Florida probate court
- File final tax returns
In the State of Florida, the Court is involved in this process to ensure that either the will or Florida law is carried out in distributing the assets and addressing liabilities.
Even if your loved one left a will with specific instructions on what to do with their debts and assets, the act of carrying out those wishes can be extremely time-consuming and burdensome, especially while you are also grieving. Having an experienced attorney on your side to guide you can help make the process as easy as possible.
Probate Work for Attorneys
There are many reasons why other fellow attorneys reach out to us for probate work. They may need local counsel to appear in Court or want to have an executor who is familiar with local resources to help with the valuation or selling property.
The legal team at Travis Walker can serve as local counsel and as a liaison between other counsel and the probate court. We can also serve as an executor in probate matters in this area. Our team has access to local resources throughout the Stuart, Florida, and Palm Beach, Florida areas that may not be available to you otherwise. Our team can be an invaluable resource to your clients or even to you personally.
