Why does the Personal Representative need an attorney?
In almost all instances the personal representative must be represented by a Florida attorney. Many legal issues arise, even in the simplest estate administration.
The attorney for the personal representative advises the personal representative on rights and duties under the law, and represents the personal representative in estate proceedings. The attorney for the personal representative is not the attorney for the beneficiaries.
A provision in a will mandating that a particular attorney or firm be employed as attorney for the personal representative is not binding on the personal representative.
