Local Florida Probate and Estate Administration Services for Executors From Other States
Because Florida is a prime retirement destination, it's quite common to find that there are no local family members to act as an executor or representative for a Florida estate. While probating an estate is always time consuming, out-of-state representation can be a significant problem for executors from New York or California to have to fly to Florida repeatedly in order to probate a will or wrap up an estate.
At The Charles Law Offices, we take the burden away from out-of-state executors and representatives. We provide a wide range of probate and estate administration services to handle every aspect of the Florida probate process.
If your loved one died in Florida and you are responsible for handling the estate, call 866.607.6531 or contact us online to discuss arrangements with an experienced estate and trust administration lawyer.

Florida Trust and Estate Administration Services
We can handle every aspect of probate and the distribution of an estate from beginning to end. In most cases, you need never step foot in Florida if you don't want to.
- We handle the filing of all legally required probate or estate administration paperwork. We will send you papers requiring your signature with clear instructions for any action you need to take.
- We work with skilled CPAs in the preparation of estate tax forms.
- We will document all property in the estate and can arrange for an estate sale of household items or shipping of personal property and cars to heirs, based upon your instructions.
- We work with local realtors to facilitate the sale of Florida homes, condos and other properties. If the realtor identifies needed repairs that will help move the property or maximize its value, we will photograph the problem for your review and, upon your instruction, we will hire repairmen and/or housecleaning services to ensure the property is in good condition prior to sale.
Distance Makes No Difference
