10 Florida Probate Lawsuit or Dispute Tips (even before you file your will contest or estate lawsuit)

  1. Do not talk –ever– about your probate lawsuit or case with friends.
  2. Do not e-mail anyone about your probate case except your probate litigation lawyer.
  3. Do not share the communications which you have with your Palm Beach probate lawyer with anyone else.
  4. Do not tell your friends what your estate litigation lawyers said or think.
  5. Do not share drafts of Palm Beach probate court documents with anyone. Do not discuss them with anyone but your probate litigation lawyer.
  6. Do not post anything about your trust case or inheritance lawsuit.  Period ! Don’t post on Facebook, Twitter, or any other Social Media. Your opponent will see these posts and use them against you at your estate lawsuit trial.
  7. If you have photographs or documents relating to your case, do not post them on Social Media. Your opponent will find and use these posts.
  8. Do not erase or throw out your computer, laptop or hard drive.
  9. Do not delete your texts, mobile phone, computer files, or e-mails relating to your case.
  10. Do not destroy or delete anything that you have already written, e-mailed, or posted. Destroying documents or deleting data may make you look dishonest, which is ultimately more harmful than whatever it is that is being deleted.
