Drafting Wills and Guiding You Through Probate

At James C. Campbell, P.A., we handle probate and estate matters at every stage of the process. If you are looking to draft a will, power of attorney or living will, we can help you set out your choices for the personal representative (also known as executor) who will wrap up your affairs, the guardians for any minor children you may have and the distribution of your assets.

We also help personal representatives with their probate administration responsibilities, which may include notification of beneficiaries and creditors, sale of property, distribution of assets and closure of the estate.

Not every estate must go through probate, but if the deceased person owned real estate, annuities, money market funds, special accounts or significant overall assets, probate will probably be necessary.

Contact us to learn more about Florida estate planning and probate laws and how we can help you manage these affairs as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Your Advocate in a Will Contest

Unfortunately, there are times when the loved ones of someone who has died cannot agree on the proper interpretation of that person's last wishes. Some parties may allege that the most recent will is invalid because the deceased was not competent to manage his or her affairs or was under undue influence.

We represent executors, family members, beneficiaries and other interested parties in will contests and other estate litigation under Florida probate law.
