- Applying relevant Florida probate laws
- Handling probate intestate - when decedent leaves no will
- Finding and gathering probate assets

Out-of-state personal representatives and beneficiaries
Families located outside of Florida face the prospect of probating an estate in an unfamiliar and distant location at a time when they are also enduring a heartbreaking loss. The substantial expense associated with travel to Florida and missed work can create additional stress on personal representatives and deprive the estate of vital assets meant for beneficiaries. Anthony D. George Jr., P.A. regularly assists out-of-state personal representatives and beneficiaries in the probate of Florida estates. We frequently accept referrals from lawyers nationwide who want to provide their clients with the compassionate, professional assistance when settling the estates of their loved ones.
Ancillary administration
If your loved one owned property in Florida at the time of death, probate is required in both Florida and the state of residence. We successfully coordinate probate of property located in Florida with the administration of out-of-state estates to minimize costs and length of process of settling the affairs of the deceased.
