post about When do I Need a West Palm Beach Curator?

What is a curator? Why would I need a Florida curator involved with my probate matter? What is Florida Probate Rule 5.122? What should West Palm Beach trust lawyers know about curators? When is a curator necessary? What should I do if a petition for appointment of a curator is filed? Should by Florida probate attorney file a petition for the appointment of a curator? Does a probate judge appoint a curator?

Palm Beach probate litigation lawyers know that Florida has a very specific rule on curators. This rule is Florida Probate Rule 5.122. A curator is typically appointed by a judge on a motion or petition to handle the administration of an estate or a very specific role in an estate for a limited amount of time. You should understand how much the curator’s going to be paid and who is going to pay them. You may even have your probate litigation attorney ask the judge to limit the curator’s fee. Speak to your trust and estate lawyer about what a curator is and how they function with other legal actors in your Florida probate matter.
