Estate Planning

The firm primarily deals with controversies involving estates, trusts, wills and guardianships in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. BaskinEisel routinely deals with estate planning as well as estate, trust and guardianship litigation matters.

At BaskinEisel, our firm's primary focus is on litigation contested estate, trust and guardianship matters in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Pinellas County and throughout the state of Florida. While we do have lawyers that engage in the important tasks of estate planning, wills and estate and trust administration, the vast majority of our cases involve contested wills, estate, trust and guardianship matters.

We have handled a multitude of litigation and contested cases involving wills and trusts based on undue influence, lack of capacity, improper execution and even insane delusions. We have successfully defended fiduciaries who have been sued for breaching their fiduciary duties, and we have also successfully prosecuted cases against fiduciaries that have breached their duties of loyalty and impartiality to beneficiaries. As well, we have sued fiduciaries for failing to account for the estate or trust assets.

We have represented beneficiaries, spouses, children, charities, creditors and anyone else who has had an interest in an estate or trust and found they needed legal representation in litigation matters.

Not only do we have an intimate knowledge of probate and trust law, but we have the courtroom experience to effectively advocate for our clients' positions in probate and trust litigation. We have handled cases all over the state of Florida and even out of state. We know how to focus our pre-trial discovery to develop the facts that are needed to win. We know how to weave those facts with the law to tell a convincing story at trial to the judge or jury.

We also understand the stress most clients endure when they are involved in litigation. While we like to try cases, sometimes an early resolution through mediation and settlement is preferred by the client or is in the client's best interests. Our clients' needs and desires are paramount in any probate, trust or guardianship litigation that we handle.

Many lawyers tout themselves as "probate litigators," but few have the experience and depth of knowledge possessed by the attorneys at BaskinEisel in Clearwater.

How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

The trusts and probate lawyers at BaskinEisel take the responsibility of being a lawyer very seriously. We practice law as a profession and possess a great deal of knowledge and experience in contested estate, guardianship, probate and trust law litigation. We are proud to be committed to the very highest standards expected of the legal profession, and to practice with integrity, innovation, and a commitment to public service.

Both Mr. Fleece and Mr. Baskin's primary focus in their practices had been in the wills, estate and trust litigation areas of law. In 2004 they decided to combine their extensive knowledge and experience to create a unique law firm that was focused mainly on contested wills, estate, trust and guardianship matters. Their philosophy was simple: leverage trial skills with the knowledge of probate and trust law to provide consistent, efficient and effective representation for their clients resulting in positive outcomes.

The firm quickly developed a reputation as the "go to" firm in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Pinellas County and throughout the state of Florida for highly complex and contested matters such as post-death fights regarding wills, trusts and estates, or pre-death disputes which many times involve guardianships and litigation.

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

Integrity: A lawyer's good reputation is everything. Our relationship and reputation with our clients, the courts, our colleagues and even our adversaries are based upon honesty, trust, candor and upholding the highest ethical standards of the Florida Bar. We believe our actions enhance our reputation with all whom we encounter. Our adversaries may not like us, but they do respect us.

Courage: We we welcome representation of clients in difficult, sometimes seemingly hopeless cases. Having large national or regional firms as adversaries does not intimidate us. We are not afraid to represent the underdog. Many times we have represented the weak and frail, victimized by unscrupulous persons who have taken undue advantage of their superior position.

Public Service: We have strong ties to our local communities and believe it is our responsibility to support our local charitable organizations by providing financial support, leadership and participation on boards and committees.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

Innovation: We are willing try new ideas, including the advancement and advocacy of novel legal theories to achieve the results sought by our clients.

Dedication: We are dedicated to providing the very best legal advice and services to our clients through collaboration, innovation and communication to effectively advocate and advance our clients' interests in wills, probate, trust and guardianship litigation.

Experience: Not only do we have an intimate knowledge of probate and trust law, but we have the courtroom experience to effectively advocate for our clients' positions in probate and trust litigation. We have handled cases all over the state of Florida and even out of state. We know how to focus our pre-trial discovery to develop the facts that are needed to win. We know how to weave those facts with the law to tell a convincing story at trial to the judge or jury.
