When Someone Took Advantage of Your Family, You Need Probate Litigation Attorneys Who Know How to Prove It
Most probate attorneys will tell you to keep the peace. We’ll tell you the truth about what happened—and what you can do about it.
⚠ Time-sensitive: Under Florida Statute § 733.212, you typically have three months from service of a Notice of Administration to file objections.

Probate Litigation Cases We handle
Under Florida Statute § 733.107, the burden of proof in a will contest rests on you as the challenging party. That means you need evidence, not just a feeling. We know how to build that case. Florida law gives you real tools to fight back. We use all of them:
Will Contests
Challenging a will for lack of capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution under Florida Statute § 732.502
Personal Representative Removal
When the person running the estate is the problem, Florida Statute § 733.504 gives courts the power to remove them
Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Holding trustees and personal representatives to the standard Florida Statute § 733.602 requires
Elective share claims
Protecting a surviving spouse's rights under Florida Statute § 732.2065 when a will tried to cut them out
Creditor Claim Disputes
Defending estates against inflated or bad-faith claims under Florida Statutes §§ 733.701–733.710
Answering Commonly Asked Probate Questions
How long do I have to contest a will in Florida?
Generally three months from the date you were served with a Notice of Administration, under Florida Statute § 733.212. If you weren’t served, different rules may apply—but don’t wait to find out.
Can a personal representative actually be removed?
Yes, and it happens. Florida Statute § 733.504 allows courts to remove a personal representative for misappropriation, self-dealing, failure to account, and more. When the situation is urgent, we move for emergency relief to protect assets while the case proceeds.
Do you handle trust disputes too?
We do. Trust litigation in Florida falls under Chapter 736 of the Florida Trust Code, and the core issues—undue influence, breach of fiduciary duty, incapacity—overlap closely with probate litigation. We handle both, often in the same matter.
How does billing work?
Most contested probate matters are billed hourly. Some cases are appropriate for contingency or hybrid arrangements depending on what’s at stake. We tell you which applies to your situation before you make any decisions.
Probate Litigation Attorneys Who Know How to Read Between the Lines
Families come to us when the will doesn’t match anything their loved one ever said. When a sibling who was never close suddenly became the sole beneficiary. When a caretaker ended up at the house. When the personal representative won’t return calls, and the accounts are quietly draining.
You are not being paranoid. These things happen—and in Palm Beach County, where a large population of retirees and seasonal residents own significant real estate and investment assets, they happen more than most people realize.
Our probate litigation attorneys come from law enforcement and prosecution backgrounds. We are trained to look at a set of facts and ask: what actually happened here? We know how to find the answer, and we know how to prove it in court.
From Palm Beach County to the Caloosahatchee — We Know This Territory.
Palm Beach County probate disputes are heard at the Palm Beach County Courthouse on North Dixie Highway—close to our West Palm Beach office on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. For Hendry County families in the LaBelle area, we handle matters through the Twentieth Judicial Circuit and are licensed to practice throughout Florida.
We work with families across Palm Beach County and with agricultural landowners and ranching families along the Caloosahatchee River corridor whose estates—often large parcels of rural property—become serious battlegrounds among heirs.
When co-owned property is part of the dispute, our partition attorneys work alongside the litigation team so nothing falls through the cracks.
