Miami, Florida, Probate and Probate Litigation Lawyer
Probate, probate litigation and estate proceedings often divide and distribute assets that took the deceased a lifetime to accumulate. The identification, division, distribution and liquidation of probate assets can quickly become complicated. If heirs dispute the terms of a will or other probate document, additional confusion and complexity can result.
An experienced probate attorney can resolve probate disputes effectively and efficiently. At the law office of Randy A. Bryant, P.A., we have worked in probate law since 1998. Attorney Randy Bryant is appointed by the courts to oversee the probate needs of minors and the elderly, and he can handle all aspects of your probate legal matter.
When an estate is in probate, we can interpret the will and carry out its terms, including identifying legal beneficiaries and liquidating and distributing assets. If an estate is in dispute, we offer full dispute resolution services, including probate litigation, mediation and negotiation. Common probate problems and disputes can involve:
- Charges of undue influence when a will's terms are changed to exclude a former beneficiary
- Paternity questions, which can determine the identity of beneficiaries
- Partition actions, when more than one heir inherits the same property
- Out-of-state beneficiaries and out-of-state assets
- Determination of the homestead property, which is protected from repossession under Florida law.
If you are a Florida beneficiary to out-of-state assets, we can arrange for a court-appointed administrator to protect and recover your assets. If you share beneficiary privileges with another person for real estate and other assets, we can arrange a partition action; we can market and sell the property, and distribute the proceeds. If paternity is disputed, we can arrange DNA testing and establish legal rights. If you have improperly been left out of a will, due to undue influence or wrongdoing, we can fight for your rights. Likewise, if you are a resident of another state and have inherited assets in Florida, we can help you take ownership of your property.
