Florida Probate Law Firm PLLC

What Florida Probate Law Firm PLLC does

Florida Probate Law Firm PLLC is a Florida-based legal practice founded in 2012 that focuses exclusively on probate and estate-related services. The firm serves individuals and families as personal representatives, heirs, beneficiaries, and trustees, with a service portfolio spanning formal probate administration, summary administration, ancillary probate for out-of-state clients, trust administration, estate planning, and probate litigation. It operates from two physical offices — Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale — and extends service across all 67 Florida counties via remote delivery.

The firm's core technology is a fully electronic, remote case management workflow with e-filing capability, which allows intake, document execution, and court filings to occur without in-person meetings. This infrastructure underpins the firm's statewide reach and supports its specialist positioning as a dedicated, rather than general-practice, probate firm. Operational scale signals include approximately 200 estates handled per year and over 1,000 cases completed in the past five years.

The business model is fee-for-service legal engagement on a per-matter basis, with a direct-to-consumer go-to-market built around free 30-minute consultations, online presence, and content/SEO targeting probate-related search intent. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and revenue derives entirely from legal fees on individual estate matters; ancillary probate extends the customer base beyond Florida residents to out-of-state heirs with Florida assets.

Emerging players

• Trust & Will: Trust & Will is an online estate planning platform that helps consumers create wills, trusts, and related documents. It directly overlaps with Florida Probate Law Firm's estate planning for survivors offering and competes for the same digitally-engaged consumer segment.
• Cake: Cake is a consumer-facing end-of-life planning platform offering wills, advance directives, and post-death planning tools. It serves an overlapping consumer need with Florida Probate Law Firm's estate planning for survivors and pre-probate preparation services.
• FreeWill: FreeWill is a free online will-creation platform widely adopted by nonprofits and employers. It serves the same DIY estate planning customer that Florida Probate Law Firm targets in its summary administration and estate planning services, representing a partial market overlap.
• Wealth.com: Wealth.com is an estate planning platform built for financial advisors that generates wills, trusts, and beneficiary documents at scale. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive but targets the same estate planning workflow that flows downstream into probate administration work.

Broad incumbents

• Rocket Lawyer: Rocket Lawyer is a subscription-based online legal services platform with estate planning, business formation, and document services. It competes with Florida Probate Law Firm in the consumer-facing legal services market, especially for routine wills and small-estate planning.
• LegalZoom: LegalZoom is a large national online legal services platform offering wills, trusts, and basic estate planning documents. It competes with Florida Probate Law Firm at the low-value, DIY end of the estate planning and summary administration funnel, though it does not provide court-supervised probate representation.

Others

• Clio: Clio is a leading cloud-based legal practice management platform used by thousands of small and mid-sized law firms including estate and probate practices. It is an enabler of firms like Florida Probate Law Firm rather than a competitor, providing the underlying case management infrastructure.
• ElderLaw Answers (ElderLawNet): ElderLaw Answers is a national directory and content resource connecting consumers with elder law and estate planning attorneys. It serves as a marketing channel and competitive benchmark for probate-focused firms like Florida Probate Law Firm rather than as a direct service provider.
