Fiduciary Representation in Florida
Fiduciaries play a critical role in carrying out someone’s legal, financial, or personal affairs. Whether you are serving as a trustee, personal representative, or guardian, our firm provides experienced legal support to help you fulfill your duties with confidence and care.
What Is a Fiduciary?
A fiduciary is someone entrusted to act in the best interest of another person. Common fiduciary roles include:
Trustee of a trust

Florida law holds fiduciaries to high standards. We’re here to guide you, so you can avoid mistakes and protect the person or estate you’re serving.

Do I need a lawyer to administer a trust?
While not always required, having legal guidance helps protect you from personal liability and ensures you’re acting within the law.
Can your firm act as a fiduciary?
Yes. In some cases, we serve as trustees or personal representatives when appropriate and agreed upon.
What happens if a fiduciary makes a mistake?
Fiduciaries can be held personally liable for mismanagement. We help you stay compliant and avoid costly errors.

We help resolve conflicts and represent fiduciaries in court when needed.
