What type of law firm specializes in all-inclusive estate services, like taking care of taxes, paying bills, sale of house & belongings, etc.?

Christopher Kennedy Caswell
Answered by attorney Christopher Kennedy Caswell (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christopher K. Caswell, P.A.
While some law firms might take on those services, normally that sort of transactional detail will have the personal representative or executor (or trustee if that is how the assets are held) take the lead in gathering and liquidating the assets of an estate. However, the personal representative or executor will usually hire professionals to do the specific necessary services, such as an attorney to do the required court filings, an accountant to make the required tax filings and perhaps a real estate agent to help with the sale of real property. An alternative is to name an institutional personal representative or executor (such as a large bank with trust powers or even a private trust company) and they might be willing to handle that level of detail, although it is likely they will also hire ancillary professionals to help them do that. This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.

What are the legal rights of a spouse who just discovered his/her recently deceased mate never divorced the first spouse?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
I can't answer all aspects of the problem, but the main point I can. Since the decedent was married when they married Spouse B, the marriage to Spouse B was not legal (void ab initio) and Florida does not have common law marriage. I had this happen once with a client of mine years ago in that the client got remarried before the final judgment of divorce. So they had to get married again to Spouse B after the divorce was final to make it legal. If Spouse B is a Florida resident, they can qualify to be the personal representative, but the parents would have better standing to serve and could request it. What will happen will depend upon the Judge, and any other opinions would require in depth research.

If the power of attorney expires when my father passed away, who is to sign the quick claim deed to transfer my father’s home ownership and title?

Only a living individual or their Power of Attorney can execute a quit claim deed. Upon death, the administrator/executor of the estate assumes control of the assets.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
