Mr. Long H. Duong

Florida Probate Attorney: Though my practice areas include estate planning and real estate work, my practice has become largely focused on Florida Probate cases. My firm's flagship website is http://www.WeProbateFlorida.com where many if not most of our clients start. Prior to opening my doors in the greater Orlando area, I was associate counsel at Rarick & Associates, P.A., the leading estate planning firm in Miami Lakes, Florida. I also clerked for Becker & Poliakoff, P.A. in Ft. Lauderdale. When I can get away from the office, I am a proud internet geek, Florida Gator fan, husband and father.

Q. My dad has passed his will mistakenly states that he is a single man but he is married we live in FL is the Will valid.

January 4, 2023

A: The Will may be valid but his actual spouse may have a stake in his estate as well. You should contact local counsel to present the Will and explore options.

Q. Can I transfer a car title with no probate done?

February 28, 2022

A: If it’s clear to the DMV who the heir should be and the car does not have a lien on it, then you have about a 90% chance that the DMV will authorize the transfer without probate orders. It’s always worth trying - worst they can say is no.

Q. My mom died 15 yrs ago. Fltreasurehunt shows an account. No probate was opened. Do we need one now?

September 18, 2020

A: The Bureau of Unclaimed Property (who administers Fl Treasure Hunt) may have a threshhold amount (possibly as high as 10k) before probate is required. Call ahead and find out if probate would be absolutely required. Otherwise, you'd likely need probate.
