Probate

Losing a loved one is difficult enough. TAPLAW guides families through the probate and estate administration process with clarity, efficiency, and compassion — handling the legal complexity so you can focus on what matters most.

Formal & Summary Administration

Florida offers multiple probate pathways depending on estate size and complexity. We advise on whether formal administration, summary administration, or disposition without administration is appropriate — and manage the process from petition to closing.

Intestate Succession

When a loved one dies without a will, Florida's intestacy laws govern who inherits. We identify rightful heirs, navigate family dynamics, and ensure the estate is distributed in accordance with the law.

Personal Representative Services

We counsel personal representatives on their fiduciary duties — from inventorying assets and notifying creditors to filing tax returns and making distributions — protecting them from personal liability throughout.

Creditor Claims & Dispute Resolution

Creditor claims must be properly evaluated and addressed during probate. We assess the validity of claims, negotiate settlements where appropriate, and litigate disputed claims when necessary.

Estate Litigation

When will contests, undue influence claims, or breach of fiduciary duty allegations arise, TAPLAW provides assertive representation to protect beneficiaries, personal representatives, and trustees.

Trust Administration

After death, trusts must be administered according to their terms and applicable law. We guide successor trustees through their obligations — accounting, distributions, tax filings, and beneficiary communications.
