Kissimmee Probate Attorney - Lawyer, providing professional Probate legal services in Kissimmee, St Cloud, Orlando, Osceola & Orange Counties and throughout the Central Florida area.


Probate is the process where the legal title of property and assets are transferred from the decedent's estate to his or her beneficiaries. When an estate enters into probate the court will review of all estate documents to determine if all documents are in order.

The court will provide a specific period of time to allow challenges of the estate documents by family members, or others directly affected by a "will" or other estate documents. If the estate is not challenged or the specified time to contest passes the estate may clear the probate process in a timely manner.

In the State of Florida, a person who chooses to contest a Will typically has 90 days after the Notice of Administration has been provided by the Personal Representative, or 20 days in the event that Formal Notice of the probate proceeding is received before the will has been admitted to probate.

If a Last Will and Testament or other estate documents do not exist the probability that an estate will be contested in probate litigation may be dramatically increased. Therefore, having appropriate estate documents in order may be essential in providing the best opportunity for a smooth and successful probate process for a person's family and loved ones.

It is important to note that creditors may have the ability to contest the estate during the probate process, and may sometimes chose to wait until the estate and assets have been transferred to the  decedent's ones in an attempt to collect the debt directly from the beneficiaries.

The probate process can be extremely complicated, especially if a Last Will and Testament or any other estate documents are challenged, sending the probate into litigation. When an estate is being disputed in probate litigation, the longer one waits to obtain legal representation regarding probate, probate litigation, or other estate law issues or disputes, the beneficiaries ability to achieve a successful outcome may be directly affected.
