Your estate plan is meant to bring peace of mind — not conflict. But without clear legal guidance, even well-intentioned plans can create confusion or disputes among loved ones. At Compo Law Firm LLC, we help clients throughout Miami and South Florida with both estate document drafting and litigation, ensuring their wishes are properly expressed and protected. Whether you’re planning your estate or facing a contested will or trust, our firm provides the experienced counsel and steady advocacy you need.
Drafting That Prevents Problems Later
Every strong estate plan begins with careful drafting. A will or trust is more than a formality — it’s a legal blueprint for how your assets, property, and legacy will be managed and distributed. Errors or vague language in these documents can lead to expensive disputes, court delays, or unintended results.
That’s why our approach to wills, trusts, and related documents is precise and highly personalized. We take time to understand your family, assets, and goals before drafting a plan that clearly reflects your wishes and complies with Florida law.
Our drafting services include:
- Last Wills and Testaments
- Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts
- Living Wills and Advance Healthcare Directives
- Powers of Attorney
- Guardianship Designations
- Business Succession Plans
Every document we prepare is designed to prevent ambiguity — and therefore, litigation — down the road. We ensure your intentions are unmistakably clear, your documents are executed properly, and your estate plan works exactly as intended when the time comes.
When Disputes Arise: Estate & Trust Litigation
Even the best planning can’t prevent every disagreement. After a loved one passes, family members may question the fairness or validity of a will or trust. Others may allege that a fiduciary — such as a trustee or personal representative — failed to uphold their duties. These disputes are emotional, complex, and often deeply personal.
At Compo Law Firm, we provide strong yet compassionate representation for clients involved in estate, probate, and trust litigation. Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently while protecting your legal and financial interests.
We handle a wide range of estate-related litigation, including:
- Will Contests: Challenging or defending a will’s validity based on claims of undue influence, fraud, or lack of capacity.
- Trust Disputes: Allegations of mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty, or improper asset distribution by a trustee.
- Inheritance and Beneficiary Disputes: Clarifying who is legally entitled to inherit when conflicts arise.
- Removal of Personal Representatives or Trustees: When a fiduciary fails to act in the best interest of the estate.
- Accounting and Mismanagement Claims: Ensuring transparency and accuracy in estate and trust administration.
We know how sensitive these matters are — families are often grieving while dealing with complex financial and legal issues. Our approach combines professionalism, discretion, and strategy to help you reach fair outcomes without unnecessary hostility.
Litigation Experience You Can Rely On
Attorney Michael Compo understands that estate litigation requires more than knowledge of probate law — it demands careful negotiation, attention to detail, and the ability to navigate emotionally charged situations with empathy and resolve. Our firm’s litigation experience means we’re prepared for any scenario, from informal mediation to courtroom proceedings.
Whenever possible, we strive to settle disputes privately and efficiently. But when litigation becomes necessary, Compo Law Firm is ready to protect your rights through clear argument, strong evidence, and decisive advocacy.
Preventing Disputes Through Proactive Planning
Many of the conflicts we see in probate court stem from unclear or outdated estate documents. By working with our firm before issues arise, you can drastically reduce the likelihood of litigation later. We review your existing will, trust, and other documents to identify potential risks — such as conflicting terms, missing signatures, or outdated beneficiaries — and update them to prevent confusion.
Estate planning isn’t a one-time task. It should evolve with your life — marriages, children, business growth, or property changes can all impact how your plan functions. We provide ongoing support to keep your documents up to date, ensuring your legacy remains secure.
