Understanding Probate: How do you keep your private life private after death?

Why is Estate Planning important?
Don’t assume you or your family financial life is private in death. In Florida, probate is the court-supervised legal process of proving a will (if one exists), identifying and gathering a deceased person’s assets, paying their debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries, managed by a Personal Representative (Executor).

Key types include Formal Administration for larger estates and Summary Administration for smaller estates (under $75k or passed away over 2 years ago). Aldo has extensive experience with Estate Planning and Probate & Trust Administration, including drafting of Wills & Trusts and advising on asset preservation strategies and how to avoid probate.

After practicing several years with a South Florida law firm, Aldo founded ARC Law, PLLC to provide high-quality estate planning and probate services more directly to clients by leveraging virtual and digital services.
