Q: We just lost a family member in Marion County. How does your firm guide us through the Florida probate process, and what are the first steps we need to take?
A: When a person dies intestate (without a will) in Florida, the law dictates how assets are distributed. Sevilla Law assists families during this transition by managing the entire probate process. We handle:
Summary Administration: An expedited process for smaller estates or those where the decedent has been deceased for over two years.
Formal Administration: The traditional probate process is required for larger or more complex estates.
Our goal is to settle the estate while minimizing stress for the survivors. As a bilingual firm, we ensure that every family member understands their rights and the legal steps involved, regardless of whether they prefer legal services in English or Spanish.

A: It means you receive a level of personal service that larger firms simply cannot provide. At Sevilla Law, we prioritize:
Attorney-Direct Communication: You deal directly with Attorney Sevilla throughout the duration of your case. We eliminate the "middleman" by ensuring you aren't handed off to junior staff, associates, or assistants.
Total Transparency: Through our advanced client portal, you have a window into your legal matter at all times. You can view documents and track progress 24/7, providing peace of mind between scheduled updates.
Boutique Focus: We intentionally manage our caseload to ensure every client receives the high-level strategy and attention they deserve.
