The attorneys at Perez‑Roura Law serve as Miami executor lawyers supporting executors and personal representatives through every stage of estate administration—ensuring legal compliance, fiduciary duty fulfillment, and smooth distributions. Our executor attorney team in Miami provides comprehensive guidance for asset collection, creditor management, court filings, and beneficiary communications throughout the probate process.

Serving as an executor or personal representative comes with significant responsibility. You’re trusted to settle debts, manage assets, communicate with beneficiaries, and close the estate properly. At Perez‑Roura Law, we help Miami executors navigate these tasks with confidence and care. From appointment through final distribution and court discharge, our team provides clear guidance, legal expertise, and peace of mind during complex or emotional times.

Appointment and Qualification in Probate Court

The first step is qualifying as executor (or guardian if needed). We help you file the will, petition for appointment, and obtain Letters of Administration or testamentary from the court. We assist with bond waivers when applicable, manage heir/here notice, and guide you through personal representative responsibilities—making sure you’re formally recognized and empowered under Florida law.

Understanding Fiduciary Duties & Legal Obligations

Executors have legal duties—to act impartially, preserve assets, and avoid conflicts. We coach you through these responsibilities, including ethical handling of assets, impartial beneficiary engagement, conflict avoidance, and proper communication. We help you set up recordkeeping systems, explain when and how to seek court approval for decisions, and make sure every step complies with statutory deadlines and duties.

Asset Collection, Inventory & Valuation

You’re responsible for collecting everything owned by the estate. Perez‑Roura Law helps identify probate property, coordinate with appraisers, obtain account statements, and assemble inventories. These inventories are required by law and also inform distributions, creditor handling, and tax reporting. We make sure no asset is overlooked so administration proceeds efficiently.

Creditor Notifications & Beneficiary Communications

Florida law requires executors to notify creditors and beneficiaries and handle valid claims. We prepare and publish notices, evaluate claims, negotiate or dispute where needed, and safeguard estate liquidity. We also facilitate communication: informing heirs of progress, distributions pending, and resolution steps—reducing misunderstandings and fostering trust during administration.

Estate Accounting, Asset Distribution & Closing

At the end of administration, executors must file final accountings and distribute assets in accordance with the will or applicable law. Perez‑Roura Law drafts financial accountings, supports the distribution process, ensures proper asset transfers, and files petitions for discharge. We prepare all required documents, from certification of distribution to closing affidavits—allowing executors to step down without liability.

Handling Complications and Estate Disputes

Sometimes probate administration triggers disputes—over valuations, beneficiary rights, or debts. We offer support in navigating these conflicts, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court advocacy. We also advise on estate tax matters, foreign assets, business interests, or missing heirs—ensuring executors manage estate issues effectively and avoid future legal risks.

Being an executor is demanding—but with Perez‑Roura Law, you’re never alone. Our Miami-based team ensures executors understand each duty, proceed with confidence, and bring estates to a lawful and respectful close.
