What Should I Do if My Business Is Being Sued?
Being notified that your business has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit is an extremely stressful and concerning situation, especially when your business is relatively new and still trying to claim its space in the marketplace. An expensive lawsuit could be catastrophic and threaten the reputation and financial health of your company.
If your business is being sued, the most important thing you can do is to treat it as a priority and contact an attorney as soon as possible. Ignoring a lawsuit is never the right approach, even if you believe the lawsuit is frivolous and the claims against you and your company are untrue. It is crucial to comply with all deadlines required by the court, respond adequately, and prepare yourself with as much evidence as you can gather to prove your side of the story. Then, contact an experienced business law attorney to get help building your case.

How Can an Estate Litigation Attorney Help Me Contest a Will?
Will contests are some of the most common types of estate and probate litigation in Florida. A will contest happens when any party with an interest in a decedent’s will asks the court to amend the will or to declare it invalid based on certain reasons, such as undue pressure, coercion, lack of testamentary capacity, and fraud.
The process of contesting a will can be tense and complicated and often generates conflict among the decedent’s surviving family members. If you believe something is wrong with a loved one’s will, it is crucial to contact a probate litigation attorney who can analyze your case and help you build a strong argument. The attorneys at Bloodworth Law, PLLC, have successfully handled countless cases involving will contests and other types of estate litigation in Florida.

Why Do I Need an Attorney if I Don’t Intend to File a Lawsuit?
Most people think of seeking the legal services of a lawyer when they are being sued or when they are considering filing a lawsuit against someone else.

Even if you are not sure whether you have a courtroom case, reach out to our attorneys at 407-449-8958 to learn your options.

ASKED QUESTIONS
Where is a probate petition filed?
A probate petition begins the probate process. In most cases, the petition is filed in the county where the deceased lived at the time of their death. If there is a will, it may indicate which county the probate petition should be filed. If it is unclear where your loved one lived at the time of their death, you can use clues like their voter registration location, where they owned property, and where they held a driver’s license to decide where to file. When a deceased person owns property in multiple states, you may have to go through ancillary probate, or probate conducted in a second state.
What are the remedies available in a business tort?
If a business has sustained losses or has been negatively affected by the actions of another business or individual and is able to successfully file a business tort lawsuit, the court may offer two different types of remedies – injunctions or actual damages. An injunction is a court order that requires a defendant to do something or stop doing something that is harming the plaintiff’s business, such as publishing a public correction notice or refraining from illegally using trademarked assets. If the plaintiff has sustained financial losses, the defendant may also be ordered to pay the plaintiff monetary damages. Each case is unique, so be sure to ask your attorney about the types of remedies available for your claim.
How can estate planning help me protect my business and leave a legacy?
Estate planning is an important set of documents and tools that allow individuals to plan for what should happen to their assets after they pass away. This process is especially important for individuals who own a small business and wish to plan for how their business will continue after they pass away. Effective estate planning can help shield a person’s estate from excessive taxation, reduce the possibility of conflicts among beneficiaries, protect the estate assets from creditors, and help preserve that person’s legacy for future generations.
What should I do if I believe the personal representative of my loved one’s
estate needs to be removed?
The executor or personal representative of a decedent’s estate has an important role in ensuring that the estate assets are properly managed and distributed to the beneficiaries. The personal representative also has a fiduciary duty to protect the estate assets and conduct themselves with transparency and honesty. When a personal representative breaches their duty and engages in wrongful conduct, the beneficiaries or interested parties of the estate may petition the probate court for the removal of that individual. An attorney can assist with the process of preparing a petition for removal of an estate executor.
What happens if someone contests the validity of a trust?
Like a will, a trust can be contested if someone believes it is invalid. Trusts are often contested if an individual believes there was undue influence, failure to comply with legal procedures, or mental incapacity involved. When someone contests a trust, they must file a claim requesting that any contested areas of the trust be removed. They must show proof of invalidity for their claim to be granted. Working with an experienced trust litigation lawyer is the best way to contest a trust or protect a trust during legal action.
