Understanding Probate
Types of Probate Administration
Formal Administration
Starting at $3,500, plus court filing and publication fees
Formal administration is a court-supervised probate process that may be appropriate when an estate requires structured judicial oversight or broader administrative steps. Each matter is evaluated individually, and the scope of representation is tailored to the estate’s unique circumstances.
Services May Include:
- Preparation and submission of required court filings
- Coordination of legally required notices
- General guidance regarding claims, obligations, or distributions
- Support through procedural steps toward estate settlement and closure
Summary Administration
Certain estates may qualify for streamlined probate procedures that involve fewer filings and a shorter administrative timeline. Eligibility and process requirements vary, and suitability is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Services May Include:
- Evaluation of available probate options
- Preparation of simplified court documents
- Coordination of asset transfers or title updates
- Assistance with final procedural steps

Perfect for straightforward Lee, Collier, or Charlotte estates in when:
- The estate is uncontested
- There are up to three beneficiaries
- Total assets are under $15,000, OR

Our Approach
Primarily Virtual Practice
Secure online systems allow clients to communicate, sign certain documents, and receive updates without travel or office visits.
Local Office Availability
A Bonita Springs office remains open for administrative needs and limited scheduled appointments.
Flexible Service Structure
Representation is adapted to the estate’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Clear Communication
Clients receive practical guidance on available options and next steps throughout the process.
Service Area
We assist clients across Florida in estate and probate matters regardless of county or city. Most matters can be handled remotely, allowing families to work with our firm from virtually anywhere.
Consultations
Because every estate is different, fees and scope of work vary based on complexity, court requirements, and client objectives. An initial consultation helps determine the appropriate level of service and available administrative paths.
General Information
Timelines vary widely depending on court schedules, estate complexity, and the type of administration involved.
Not all assets or estates require probate. Certain ownership structures or beneficiary designations may allow property to transfer outside of court.
Estates without a will can still be administered through established legal procedures, and available options are reviewed during consultation.
In many cases, yes. Modern court systems and electronic documentation often allow probate matters to be managed with minimal or no in-person attendance.
Information provided is general in nature and not a substitute for individualized legal advice.
