Miami Estate Litigation Attorneys
By statute, a will must be properly drawn and its provisions regarding the disposition of the decedent's assets must be followed. But closing an estate's affairs is not always a smooth process. Undue influence in the creation of a will can lead to a party contesting a will, and allegations of malfeasance during the probate process can result in litigation.
Luis E. Barreto has been representing clients in estate planning, will contest, and estate litigation cases since 1992. Our firm, Barreto & Romero, P.A., has a comprehensive understanding of these practice areas, and a record of success in estate and probate litigation cases.

South Florida Will Contest Lawyers
Allegations of undue influence in the creation of a person's will often come late in a person's life, when the person is susceptible or otherwise vulnerable. A family member, care giver, or friend may cause a person to amend a will or create a new will through persuasion or deception, or may forge a will or amendment. A child who is left out of a will (pretermitted heir) can also commence a will contest as can a spouse who is left out of a will.
Barreto & Romero, P.A. will investigate all aspects of the case, using professional investigators if necessary. Our goal will be to develop a strong and persuasive case designed to achieve your objectives.
Probate Litigation Cases
Disputes can arise during the probate administration process as well. Our firm represents both plaintiffs (other heirs) and defendants (personal representatives) in probate litigation. Determining the true facts of the case is an essential step in these situations. Using our knowledge of the law and calling upon experts such as accountants, appraisers, valuation specialists, as well as others, we will apply the facts to the law to build your case.
