US Wills, Trusts & Probate : Florida Probate

Even with a Florida will, the probate of a U.K. resident’s Florida estate may take longer than that of a Florida resident.

With our experience of transatlantic probates, Bennetts can help your personal representative in a thoughtful and sensitive manner and avoid potential conflicts or delays.

We can help you sort through these and other important questions:

• Does a valid will or trust exist? 
• What assets are in Florida and are they subject to Florida probate? 
• Will a U.S. inheritance tax return need to be filed? 
• How will the Florida and U.K estate need to cooperate?
• Are there creditors and is property exempt from creditor claims? 
• What are the rights of any surviving spouse and /or family members? 
• What’s the best type of administration and next steps?

With our dual expertise in U.S. and U.K., law, Bennetts can help you through what can be a complicated process. To make sure that you meet inheritance tax filing and other deadlines, please contact us to learn how we can help you.
