Estate Planning in Palm Beach County
Estate planning is essential for anyone looking to protect their assets and ensure their wishes are carried out in the event of incapacity or death. A well-crafted estate plan includes essential documents such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives. Proper estate planning can help minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and protect assets from potential disputes.

This includes wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, ensuring your wishes are honored during your lifetime and after. You can trust that your Palm Beach County estate planning documents will be valid, enforceable, and reflective of your intentions.
Probate & Trust Litigation
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, ensuring debts are settled, and distributing assets according to the will or Florida law. However, probate can sometimes become contentious, especially when disputes arise over the validity of a will, executor misconduct, or disagreements among beneficiaries. Trust litigation may also occur when trustees fail to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities, leading to claims of mismanagement or financial abuse.
Kitroser Lewis & Mighdoll represents clients in probate and trust litigation cases, fighting for the rights of heirs, beneficiaries, executors, and trustees. The firm helps resolve disputes efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, ensuring that the decedent’s wishes are honored and that beneficiaries receive what they are entitled to.
Areas of Litigation
- Estate and Probate Litigation: We handle will contests and trust disputes, addressing issues like undue influence and breach of fiduciary duty.
- Guardianship: Our attorneys represent clients in court for guardianship determinations and actions to remove guardians for misconduct.
- Financial Exploitation: We take immediate action against elder financial exploitation, using litigation to recover wrongfully taken assets.
- Wrongful Death: We help families pursue justice in wrongful death cases, navigating the complex relationship between probate and litigation to recover compensation for loss.
Elder Law & Financial Exploitation
As the elderly population in Palm Beach County grows, so does the risk of elder abuse and financial exploitation. Seniors may fall victim to fraudulent schemes, undue influence, or manipulation by caretakers, family members, or even professionals entrusted with their finances. Financial exploitation can lead to devastating consequences, including the loss of retirement savings, real estate, and other valuable assets.
Kitroser Lewis & Mighdoll is committed to protecting vulnerable seniors from financial abuse. The firm takes swift legal action to recover lost assets, hold wrongdoers accountable, and prevent further exploitation. They also assist families in implementing protective legal measures, such as durable powers of attorney and guardianships, to safeguard elderly loved ones from financial predators. Our elder law attorneys provide sensitive and compassionate assistance for individuals and families navigating issues related to aging. We focus on Medicaid planning, long-term care, guardianship, and asset protection, striving to prevent elder exploitation and address any instances of abuse promptly.
Guardianship & Conservatorship
Guardianship is a legal process that grants a responsible individual or entity the authority to make decisions for someone who is unable to care for themselves due to age, disability, or incapacity. This process is often necessary when an elderly person can no longer manage their financial or personal affairs, or when a minor requires legal protection.
Kitroser Lewis & Mighdoll provides skilled legal representation in guardianship proceedings, ensuring that individuals in need of care receive proper protection while maintaining their dignity and rights. The firm assists with the establishment of guardianships, disputes over guardianship appointments, and ensuring guardians fulfill their legal duties. Their attorneys also advise clients on less restrictive alternatives to guardianship, such as trusts and powers of attorney. Planning for guardianship is crucial when you can no longer make important decisions. Our team helps you appoint trusted individuals as guardians, ensuring they understand your preferences and can advocate for your needs. We also assist with various guardianship types, including those for the elderly and developmentally disabled.
