As a young lawyer 25 years ago, founding partner Adrian Thomas began his practice of law in the estate planning and estate administration areas. He soon realized that Florida's large, affluent elderly population made it a hotbed for abuse and subsequent estate litigation. Nearly 20 years ago, Mr. Thomas decided to open his own law Florida probate law firm specializing in estate and trust litigation. The boutique law firm has represented thousands of clients in estate-related disputes, both prosecuting and defending, across the State of Florida. The causes of action include undue influence, lack of capacity, tortious interference with an inheritance and breach of fiduciary duty.

The Florida probate lawyers at Adrian Philip Thomas, PA know there are only a handful of fact patterns and you see them over and over again. Sometimes it is a second marriage and the surviving spouse who was entrusted to honor an estate plan diverts the money to his or her own children; sometimes it is a ne'er-do-well child who returns to "assist" an elderly parent and ends up helping himself or herself to the assets; sometimes it is a caregiver who exploits the elderly person dependent upon them; sometimes is it a paramour who interferes with the parent-child relationship; and sometimes it is a trustee who is being arbitrary or vindictive with the beneficiary. One thing is certain, with the biggest wealth transfer in history of approximately $30 trillion dollars from Baby Boomers to Gen X or Millennials, there is no end in sight to the issues giving rise to Florida probate litigation.

Florida probate and trust litigation are complex areas of the law and require specialized knowledge. You wouldn't go to a family practitioner if you needed brain surgery and you shouldn't go to just any law firm if you need representation in a Florida probate or trust litigation matter. It is an abstract and nuanced area of the law fraught with traps for the unwary.
