Efficient & Effective Management of Probate Concerns
The purpose of probate is to legally administer a deceased person's estate, ensuring that debts are paid and assets are rightfully distributed per the decedent’s will or, if there is no will, Florida’s intestate succession laws.
At The Law Offices of Justin Rickman, we strive to prevent conflicts from slowing the probate process. Our team works to guide you through probate, eliminate any hurdles, and help you wind down your loved one’s estate quickly and cost-effectively.
Personal representatives or executors of probated estates handle a wide range of tasks to accomplish this, including:
- Initiating the probate process
- Taking an inventory of the deceased’s assets
- Identifying beneficiaries
- Resolving estate debts and taxes
- Distribution of assets
- Submittal of accounting to the state of Florida
Out-of-State Clients Facing Florida Probate
Are you not a Florida resident? We can help if you live out of state, but your parent or relative died in Florida. With the help of our legal team, many of the tasks can be accomplished by mail, email, and phone to reduce the number of trips to our state.
Trust Administration Services
Trust administration involves managing a trust according to its terms and the best interests of its beneficiaries. Tasks include asset management, fulfilling distribution requirements, and adhering to legal and tax obligations.
While trust assets can bypass the probate process, trust management can be ongoing, particularly if funds need to be disbursed over time. Proper guidance is essential to navigating the complexities of trust administration.
At The Law Offices of Justin Rickman, we help trustees avoid errors and comply with state and federal laws. Seeking legal assistance can provide clarity and support, making the process smoother and more efficient.

Fiduciary Duties in Probate & Trust Administration
Executors and trust administrators (trustees) have fiduciary duties, meaning they are legally obligated to act in the interests of the estate or trust and its beneficiaries.
These individuals must act with loyalty, prudence, impartiality, and preserve and protect trust assets and property. If an executor or trustee violates their fiduciary duty, they can be held personally liable for losses to the estate or trust and may be removed by the court.
