Over the course of the past two decades, Mr. Watson has handled dozens of various estate and trust litigation matters and related claims, including without limitation, the following:

- Enforcing/protecting a beneficiary’s right to an accounting of trust activities
- Dealing with challenges to the spousal elective share

Florida law requires, among other things, that a decedent’s estate be administered in a manner consistent with the decedent’s intent. Oftentimes, a properly drafted estate plan can help ensure the lawful administration of one’s estate. Other times, however, the lawful administration of a loved one’s estate may be disrupted by the ill-conceived efforts of a beneficiary, personal representative, trustee or other individual seeking to advance her own goals or self-interest. At Jay B. Watson, P.A., our goal is to resolve probate and trust disputes in a manner consistent with the intent of the deceased loved one and in a manner that best protects our client’s interests and assets while preserving family relationships.
