As You Near the Finish Line…
At Your Caring Law Firm, we pride ourselves on guiding you through the Florida probate process with compassion and clarity. We know that probate can take a long time and you’ll be looking forward to the day you can close the estate. However, we’ve noticed a recurring hiccup: clients assure us they’ve finalized asset transfers, only to discover months later that certain assets remain in the decedent’s name.
This necessitates reopening the probate case. That is time-consuming and costly and frustrating, and that’s the exact experience we’d like to help you avoid.
Reopening probate isn’t just a minor inconvenience. It involves additional legal procedures, potential court fees, and, of course, more of your time. It’s a detour we’d all prefer to avoid.
Life gets busy, paperwork gets misplaced, and sometimes, it’s easy to assume tasks are complete when they’re not. Unfortunately, financial institutions and courts are unforgiving.
Here’s What We Can Do, Together
To ensure a smooth conclusion to your probate journey, we’ve created a checklist for you to use at the time your probate case is in closing stages. We know that during this time grief is also likely taking a toll, and we want to make sure we help give you a tool to confirm all tasks are truly complete before we tell the court we are all finished.
