This is who re-did our California Will/trust, etc. Sham Shanawany at Millhorn was great, and it was about $900 for everything.

I might add that anyone providing such legal advice who is not a licensed attorney in the state of Florida is engaged in the unlicensed practice of law. Florida statutes specify that such conduct is a felony offense. There need not be any exchange of money or other valuable. Providing the legal "advice" is sufficient to support a felony charge.

Best advice anyone can give is go speak with a Florida attorney.
Good grief! Sharing our own personal experiences as new FL residents is not giving advice. It’s just answering a question asked by the OP, which is what this forum is for. 🙄

I don't take legal advice from posters on this site. I also do not take medical advice, such as conducting open heart surgery on myself from posters on this site.

Florida Statutes specifies that those giving legal advice without the benefit of being a Florida Lawyer (who has passed the Florida Bar and has been duly admitted) is committing a felony because that person is engaged in the unlicensed practice of law. No money or other item of value need be provided. The felony is committed by providing "legal advice".

The best thing for someone seeking a legal opinion as to the validity of an out of state will or trust in Florida it so suggest that that person seek the advice of a Florida attorney. The attorney's fees are generally reasonable and carry a lot more weight than an opinion issued by a poster to this site with an anonymous nick!

"Not considered legal advice
Opinions on the internet by laypeople are not considered legal advice. While lawyers can provide general answers to legal questions, they should not give specific legal advice, as it may inadvertently create an attorney-client relationship. Legal advice is typically given by a legal professional, such as a lawyer.

Your statement is incorrect! The unlicensed practice of law in the State of Florida creates the basis for a felony charge! The means by which such advice is given by whatever means and with or without charge is irrelevant to the criminal charge. I am assuming the opinion you have just rendered has not been made by a Florida licensed attorney.
