Moorhead Law Group assists personal representatives, executors, and beneficiaries through the probate process in Pensacola and along the Gulf Coast.
In the unfortunate event of losing a loved one, someone has the daunting task of handling the estate which can be a time-consuming and difficult process. However, the experienced probate attorneys at Moorhead Law Group are on your side to guide you through this complex process. Our attorneys help personal representatives and executors through the probate process in Pensacola and throughout the Gulf Coast.
To better understand the probate process, it is essential to define what probate means. Probate is the legal process that takes place after a person dies and involves the legal title of property transferred from one decedent’s estate to the beneficiaries, all under the direction of the probate court.
Once an individual has passed and it is determined that probate administration is necessary, a petition must be filed in the county where the deceased lived. After the proper steps are taken, the court will issue an order in which the transfer of the probate estate is given to the recipients. One of our Pensacola probate lawyers will be the representative of the estate when dealing with the probate court and have your best interest at hand.
When disputes arise regarding the disposition of assets and the rights of the beneficiaries to those assets, our attorneys will lead you in the process.
The probate process should be handled with an experienced probate attorney who understands the complex process. Our firm gathers a great deal of information and we routinely handle estates throughout Pensacola and the state of Florida. We assist our clients by guiding them through important processes such as filing court documents, distributing assets, and communicating appropriately with courts.

As with everything, there are advantages and disadvantages to the probate process. Here are a few things to consider, starting with the items that would be in your favor.
Here are a few disadvantages to dealing with the probate process:
SMALL ESTATES
Depending on the state you live in, most have a fast-track or reduced probate process meant for the qualifying smaller estates. In this case, the probate process can be presented to a court administrator instead of going to the probate courts to save on cost and the time spent.
BEING WELL EDUCATED ON PROBATE
When you reach out to the legal team at Moorhead Law Group, our probate attorneys can educate you about trusts, titling properties, and the beneficiary designations. Though it may be the best option to avoid probate to settle an estate, we can direct you in making the clearest and most logical decision for your estate.
