PROBATE: Wrongful Death in Florida

Your Case Needs Probate. Let’s Make It Easy.
In Florida, a probate estate must be opened before a wrongful death lawsuit or settlement can proceed — even if there’s no will or no other assets. As a probate attorney who partners with personal injury firms across the state, I make sure this step never holds up your case.
I handle the probate, so you can focus on litigation.

Why Probate Matters in Wrongful Death Cases

Under Florida law:

  • Only a court-appointed personal representative (PR) can bring or settle a wrongful death claim
  • The PR represents the statutory survivors — not just the estate
  • Probate must be open before filing suit or distributing settlement funds
  • Courts and insurance companies may require specific orders before funds are disbursed

If the probate isn’t done right, it can delay the case — or worse!

Why Clients Choose Me

Choosing the right probate attorney matters. Here’s why my clients trust me to handle their probate case:

Most of my clients live outside Florida. I make it easy to handle everything from home. No travel. No courthouse. Everything is handled by phone, Zoom, e-mail, e-signature, and secure portal.

I have been successfully administering Florida probate cases for more than 12 years. Importantly, I don’t dabble. I focus almost exclusively on Florida probate cases. Over the years, I have built the knowledge base, skills, and relationships necessary to handle any situation that may arise as part of a probate case.

No hourly billing for ordinary probate matters. You’ll know the full cost up front — no surprises.

You’ll work directly with me — not a call center, paralegal, or associate attorney. The virtual nature of my practice allows me to take fewer cases and dedicate more time and attention to each client.
