How to Find the Right Probate Attorney

If you are in the process of probate, it’s important to choose the right probate attorney to ensure your case is handled properly. The probate process can be complex and confusing, so it is important to have a qualified probate attorney by your side. What should you look for when considering probate attorneys?  Let’s take a closer look:

Primary Practice Areas

When searching for probate attorneys, you want to consider someone who practices law in probate and related areas. For instance, probate attorneys are often also estate planning attorneys. These two areas of law are closely related. However, you may want to proceed with caution if the probate attorneys you are considering also practice in non-related areas of law such as criminal, personal injury, etc.

Experience

You want to choose an experienced probate attorney who has handled probate cases before. When considering experience, you should ask how many years the attorney has been practicing law and how many cases they have handled in the state of Florida.

Reputation

The overall reputation of the probate lawyer you handle is extremely important. Make sure the law firm you are considering has probate lawyers who receive favorable reviews and have built a reputation based on excellence.
