A Florida Probate Lawyer Offering Remote Services for Out-of-State Clients

Probate is tough – especially when you’re grieving and live hundreds of miles away. As a Florida probate lawyer with over a decade of experience, I’ve helped hundreds of families navigate the legal process after a loved one dies. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that many people who need help probating a Florida estate don’t actually live in Florida but most probate lawyers aren’t set up to cater specifically to them. That’s where I’m different. My entire practice is built to serve out-of-state personal representatives and heirs. Using tech tools like email, Zoom, and a secure client portal, I make the probate process as smooth, remote, and stress-free as possible. No need to come to my office, I’ll meet with you virtually while you stay in the comfort of your own home.

What Are My Clients Saying?

Eric handled the probate of our son and my mother. Our son had no will, my mother did. Each time his knowledge and professionalism made the process as easy as possible in our grief. He is very kind and caring as well. I highly recommend him.

Eric Preston handled my probate case. It didn’t matter what time of night I emailed him, he responded. He kept me up to date with my case step by step. He answered all my questions. It doesn’t matter how silly you think it is, he always has an answer. If you need lawyer to do your probate, Eric is the person you need. I highly recommended him. Thank you again Eric Preston.
Maxine C.
Eric Preston handled my Mom’s probate after her passing, and I cannot say enough great things about him or my entire experience. His timeliness, knowledge, accuracy, and kindness were beyond what I could have ever expected especially during such an emotionally difficult time. The fact that he was so thorough and explained everything in simple, easy to understand terms made it so much easier for me to understand the entire process without having many questions. He was ALWAYS accessible and responded to my emails immediately whenever I needed his assistance. Having spent my long-time career as a Sales and Customer Service Manager, I can honestly say that I have rarely experienced such top-notch customer service! I am truly thankful that I was lucky enough to have Eric handle everything and help me through what could have been a very challenging time without him. I VERY HIGHLY recommend using the services of Eric Preston!
Michele T.
Eric was there during the most difficult time in my life, the loss of my father who I was extremely close with. Navigating the complexities of what my Dad had to sort through both financially and in other ways, along dealing with the personalities of 4 siblings made my job as the oldest and the Estate Administrator very tough at times. Eric’s steady hand and voice of compassion and guidance coupled with his rich knowledge of law and the probate process, made my life so much easier during an otherwise unbearable time. I would recommend Eric to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Thank you for what you did for me.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ’s).

It depends on the complexity of the estate, but most cases take 6–12 months.
Small estates under a certain threshold may take only 1-2 months. Simple estates with no disputes usually move faster. If there are creditor claims, multiple heirs, or delays from the court, it may take longer. I’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your situation during our consultation.

Nope — you can stay right where you are.
I handle the entire probate process remotely. Whether you’re across the country or down the street, we’ll work together through secure video calls, e-signatures, and a client portal. There’s no need to fly to Florida or step foot in court.

Usually, we’ll need:

A copy of the death certificate
A copy of the Last Will & Testament (if there is one)
A list of known assets & debts
Contact info for heirs & beneficiaries

If you’re missing something, don’t worry — I’ll walk you through it step by step.

Yes — I handle intestate (no-will) cases all the time.
Florida law has a specific order for who inherits if there’s no will. I’ll guide you through it and handle everything with the court.

I manage the full probate process from start to finish:

Filing the petition with the Florida court
Notifying heirs, creditors, and the public
Assisting with gathering and valuing assets
Handling creditor claims
Distributing assets to the rightful heirs
Closing the estate

You won’t need to navigate any of this on your own — that’s what I’m here for.

That’s considered a contested case — and I can still help.
Contested matters involve extra time, court filings, and potential hearings. During your consultation, I’ll let you know what to expect and whether the case is likely to stay simple or might become contested.
