Common Scenarios
(1) You have been named executor or administrator of a loved one's estate, or trustee of a trust created by the deceased, but:
-
You don’t feel qualified
-
You don't have the time
-
You live in another state
-
You expect litigation
(2) You are arranging your own affairs and:
-
Your estate is complex — you want it handled by a professional
-
You don't want to burden your loved ones
-
Your family members are untrustworthy or in bad health
-
You have outlived your family and friends — there is no one else
-
You do not meet the minimum qualification requirements for a trust company or bank trust department to accept the role of trustee or personal representative
-
You desire a more personal level of service than can be provided by a corporate trustee
Comprehensive Services at Reasonable Fees
Florida probate attorney Susan M. Charles has extensive experience in trust and estate administration and probate. She can perform all the duties — gathering and liquidating assets, paying debts, distributing assets to heirs and other beneficiaries, filing taxes, and reporting to the state. This often includes the "dirty work" such as cleaning out a home, disposing of unwanted property, finding a realtor, and selling the home. We are able to handle all of these tasks.
Ms. Charles is also an experienced probate litigation attorney who can readily defend the estate or trust against claims by creditors, heirs, or other parties.
Contact The Charles Law Offices today to discuss our trustee and personal representative services. We represent many out-of-state clients whose loved one died in Florida — you may not have to travel here if we represent you or the estate; we will handle everything for you.
