Are you seeking the representation of a probate lawyer from Orlando? If so, it may be beneficial to contact an attorney from Jackson Montoya Law Firm. Under the terms of the Florida Probate Code, the estate of a person who has died leaving a will or who has died intestate must go through the probate process. Probate involves identifying and gathering the assets of the decedent, rendering payment to satisfy debts owed to the decedent's creditors, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries of the estate. At Jackson Montoya Law Firm, the team makes sure their clients are provided with trusted legal counsel throughout the entire probate process, from guiding the executor of the estate through the proceedings, to representing family members through probate litigation. Many individuals search for ways to avoid probate because it can be rather expensive due to court costs which must be paid before the beneficiaries receive any type of inheritance. This is also true of debts, which must be paid before the distributing of assets.


Jackson Montoya Law Firm can also assist clients who would like to challenge a will that they believe their loved one drafted while they were in an improper state of mind, or were under the influence of a person who did not have their best interest at heart. Taking an estate to probate also means that the decedent's creditors will only have three months to pursue claims against the estate, after which the claims will be forfeited under Florida law. No matter what your specific situation entails, a probate lawyer from Jackson Montoya Law Firm is prepared to assist you. In addition to probate, the team can also offer you their trusted legal counsel in areas involving estate planning, business law, real estate, and immigration matters.
