Probate


Jacksonville Probate Attorney - Lawyer, providing experienced Probate, Elder Law, and Estate Law legal Services in Jacksonville, Hilliard, Duval County, Nassau County and the surrounding Northeast Florida areas.


Probate is the process by which legal title of property and assets are transferred from the decedent's estate to his/her beneficiaries. When an estate enters into probate, in the event of ones passing, the courts 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 there are no challenges, or the specified time to contest passes, your estate may clear the probate process in a timely manner.

Steven M. Fahlgren represents the rights and goals of those who must address probate, elder law, and estate law legal issues in the Jacksonville, Hilliard, Duval County, Nassau County and the surrounding Northeast Florida areas. For a confidential legal consultation, please call 904.845.2255.

If a will or other estate documents do not exist, the chance that your estate will be contested in probate litigation is dramatically increased. Therefore, having the appropriate estate documents in order is essential in providing the best opportunity for a smooth and successful probate process for your family land loved ones.

It is important to note that creditors may have the ability to contest the estate during the probate process, and sometimes may chose to wait until the estate and assets have been transferred to your loved ones to collect debt from them directly.

If you have questions, concerns, or needs regarding probate, elder law, and estate law legal issues, we urge you to seek the legal advice of an experienced Jacksonville probate attorney - lawyer. Contact The Law Offices of Steven M. Fahlgren, P.A., at 904.845.2255 to schedule a confidential legal consultation.

The probate process can be extremely complicated, especially if the last will and testament or any other estate documents are challenged, sending the probate into litigation.

Having estate planning documents prepared may be essential in how your estate will be handled and distributed in the event of your passing. In the absence of these estate documents the courts will make all decisions relating to your estate, often times causing disputes between your family members and loved ones. This can happen to any family, regardless of the size of the estate in the absence of the proper estate documents.

If you require professional legal services regarding probate, elder law, and estate law legal issues, be proactive in protecting your legal rights by seeking the legal advice of an experienced Jacksonville probate attorney - lawyer. Contact The Law Offices of Steven M. Fahlgren, P.A., by calling 904.845.2255.
