Probate
& Estate Administration
Our
firm specializes in Probate and Estate Administration. Probate is the
legal process by which assets are distributed upon her or his death.
Lawyers refer to the entity that owns the deceased's assets until those
assets are distributed as an "estate." Estate Administration
includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the
deceased's assets. Individual state laws direct the probate court how
to distribute the deceased's estate. State laws and procedures vary
greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this
area of the law to ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed
correctly.
Ethics
& Professional Responsibility
Our firm limits it's representation only to attorneys dealing
with their obligations to adhere to the rules of professional conduct
as mandated by the Florida Bar.
Mr. Shalhoub has been teaching legal ethics at Palm Beach Community
College from 1978 through the present.
Estate
Planning and Probate
Our
firm handles Estate Planning matters which is the area dealing with
the distribution of an individual's property at his or her death, taking
into account wills, taxes, insurance, property, and trusts so as to
gain maximum benefit of all laws and, at the same time, carrying out
the person's wishes. Probate is the court proceeding through which a
will is proved to be valid and the estate of a decedent is administered.
The process, generally, includes collecting a decedent's assets, liquidating
liabilities, paying necessary taxes, and distribution of property to
heirs.
