Probate Attorneys Serving Citrus County, FL, Residents
Many people assume that a person’s estate will go through probate only if they died without a will, but that’s actually not the case. While the probate process is typically simpler and quicker with a will in place, the executor will still need to establish the will’s validity, carry out the instructions contained therein, and pay any applicable taxes.
Luckily, if you’re in Citrus County, Florida, or the surrounding area, you can get the help you need from the skilled probate lawyers at The Lyons Law Group, P.A. We’ve been serving clients from across the Tampa Bay region since 2008, and we’re pleased to offer assistance with estate administration.
