Tampa Probate Lawyer
When the time comes to settle a loved one’s estate, the process can feel overwhelming—especially during a time of grief. At Seward Law Office, our Tampa probate lawyer is here to help you navigate the legal and financial steps required to honor a person’s legacy while protecting your own peace of mind. From asset distribution to resolving disputes, we guide families, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries through the Florida probate process with care, efficiency, and personal attention.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered. This often involves proving the validity of a will, identifying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property according to the will—or, if no will exists, under Florida intestacy laws. While some estates can be handled outside of probate, many will require formal court involvement. Our firm ensures that every step is handled properly, so you can avoid delays and minimize the risk of costly errors or disputes.
Guidance Through All Stages of Probate
Whether you are a personal representative, heir, or creditor, Seward Law Office provides skilled legal support at every stage of the probate process. We handle a wide range of matters, including:
- Formal and summary probate administration
- Guidance for personal representatives and executors
- Asset identification and inventorying
- Creditor claims and debt resolution
- Will contests and estate litigation
- Homestead property and real estate issues in probate
- Distribution of estate assets to beneficiaries
Real Property Considerations in Probate
As a firm focused on real estate law, Seward Law Office is uniquely positioned to handle the real property aspects of probate with confidence and clarity. In many cases, a decedent’s home, investment properties, or rental units will pass through probate. We work closely with personal representatives and family members to address title issues, manage liens, coordinate property sales, or ensure that homestead exemptions are handled appropriately under Florida law.
Resolving Probate Disputes with Care
Disagreements between heirs, beneficiaries, or other interested parties can arise during probate. Whether the conflict involves the interpretation of a will, concerns about the personal representative’s actions, or allegations of undue influence, our Tampa probate lawyer offers calm, strategic, and effective representation. We aim to resolve disputes efficiently while preserving family relationships and protecting the decedent’s wishes.
