Estate Planning

Did you know that everyone in the state of Florida has an estate plan? Part I of Chapter 732 of the Florida Statues is your estate plan if you have assets titled in your name and do not have a will. For some people this is acceptable. However, for many of us, failing to plan is inadvertently creating a mess upon your death.

Guardianship Administration and Litigation

Adult guardianship begins with a determination concerning whether a person is fully or partially incapacitated. The reason for this is that if the person has capacity, then they can do what they want to do, much to the chagrin of their children sometimes.

Attorneys at Linde Law Group provide legal services to individuals who need to have a loved one declared incapacitated, to individuals who have been accused of lacking capacity, and to private and professional guardians who need to administer an ongoing guardianship.

Probate and Trust Administration

Matthew A. Linde, Esq. spends a significant part of his practice dealing with simple and complex probate issues. Mr. Linde has practiced probate law for many years. What is probate? Probate (also known as estate administration) is a process where assets that are owned in the name of a deceased person are transferred to the proper beneficiaries as determined under Florida law.

Probate can be testate (with a will) or intestate (without a will). The process involves admitting a will to probate, appointing an administrator, noticing potential creditors, paying proper claims and distributing assets to the proper beneficiaries. There are many issues that can arise in probate, and that is why you need someone involved who knows the process.
