Best Estate Planning Attorneys near Kendall, FL

When a Florida resident passes away with out-of-state assets, navigating probate can become complicated. Our firm has extensive experience guiding families through this process with compassion and care. The loss of a loved one is always difficult. Adding the complex legal and financial issues surrounding inheritance of non-Florida assets can heighten your stress. You may feel overwhelmed trying to comply with different state laws while grieving. We are here to help ease your burden. Over the past 15 years, our attorneys have worked on hundreds of multi-state probate cases. We will provide you with the answers and clarity you need during this challenging time. If the deceased owned real estate, financial accounts, or personal property in another state, extra steps must be taken to transfer these assets to heirs. The process varies depending on the type of asset and laws of the state where it is located. For example, if your loved one owned a vacation home in Georgia, you would need an ancillary probate in Georgia in addition to the Florida probate. Stocks or bank accounts would need to go through that state’s small estate affidavit process. Without the proper legal procedures, you could face roadblocks transferring or selling non-Florida property. Out-of-state real estate also could incur unnecessary tax liabilities.
