    Renee created a Lady Bird Deed for me and filed it in Florida(I live in Michigan, but have a house in FL). She made the process easy for me via email and it was completed in just over a week. Thank you Renee for making this experience quick and easy.

    I became the personal representative for a friend but did not have any knowledge of how to handle the responsibility. Luckily I found Renee. I was lead professionally the entire way to discharge my duties. She was always there when I needed help and very forgiving if I did not reply quickly. She made my job easier and prevented mistakes. I would highly recommend her if you need assistance in any Florida probate case.

    It was a pleasure working with Renee. Through difficult times of losing both parents in a two week period. I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and understanding person. Also, she saved me in the neighborhood of$13k-$14k over the first attorney I called. We spoke last week and she told me wait about a month. We received final doc’s Wednesday the following week. Highly recommend.

    After my sister’s passing, I had many issues that I needed to resolve, but I had no idea what to do. One of my friends gave me Renee’s name, so I called. Renee answered all of my questions and resolved all of the legal issues in a very knowledgeable, professional, and timely manner. I can give her a very high recommendation for the service she provided.

    Renee was referred to me by my attorney in Indiana. I needed an attorney in Florida to help administer my father’s estate since he had assets in Florida. Renee was very easy to work with, she was responsive to my needs, she was patient with my questions and she was diligent when I was slow to respond to her at times. Her fees were quite reasonable and I highly recommend her!

    Kathryn Smith

    I am the personal representative for my late uncle’s estate in Naples and live in the Philadelphia area. I decided to contact Renee Nesbit after seeing how may five star reviews she had. Here’s another. After leaving an initial voicemail, Renee called me back promptly and immediately put me at ease regarding the situation. She assured me that she could likely handle the probate through emails and phone calls without my having to travel back and forth to Florida. The estate was somewhat involved since there were multiple (17) beneficiaries listed, one of whom passed away while the probate was in process. I can say Renee never flinched regarding all the work involved, she responded quickly to all my emails, took time for phone calls and kept close track of all the beneficiaries and what they needed to sign throughout the process. Additionally, I believe her fees were very reasonable considering all the work she did for me. I am grateful to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a good probate attorney.

    5 stars because there’s no option for 6. Renee guided me through a process I didn’t necessarily understand and one I didn’t want to have to dwell on. Renee had a firm grasp on precisely what needed to be done and how to efficiently handle everything. None of us want to be faced with the loss of a loved one but if you are….I’d highly recommend Renee to guide you through the legal side of things.

    Debbie Porter

    Renee was an absolute angel in helping us transition a timeshare deed into probate and then into another family member’s name. She was a referral from a local attorney (we do not reside in Florida) and she took our case immediately. She always responded quickly and accurately via email and phone. I would definitely call on her again – a treasure for sure!

    In my occupation, I have had to work with many clients and their living trust attorneys. Renee is the most professional attorney I have worked with on such matters and her documentation was flawless (accuracy beyond compare). Renee was thorough and prompt in the preparation phase. After signing, Renee took care of many of the actions other attorneys leave for the trustees to do. Her fee structure is as fair as you will find, especially considering the quality of Renee’s work. I strongly recommend you look to Renee for your Florida living trust needs.

    I reached out to Renee to help with my recent daughter’s passing as a minor. She walked me through the Probate steps for Florida and she filed all the paperwork to the court. The process took about 6 months for the court to approve. Renee was always responsive to my emails and updates as well. She does not nickle and dime you like other lawyers do. Thank you helping us during these tough times.

    Susan Eddy

    Renee is a wonderful attorney who helped me navigate completing the closure of my parent’s Estate. My brother was the initial executor after our Dad died but then he also died before all the Ancillary properties in a different state were handled. She had to reopen the Probate in FL to assign me as Personal Representative so I could be assigned as Successor Executor in the other state. Four years later everything has been completed and she was finally able to close Probate in FL for good! I highly recommend her as she handled all of this with professionalism, compassion and a lot of patience! If you have a complex Estate, Renee Nesbit is the attorney you should consider hiring!

    Renee was referred to me by an Attorney friend in MI because I needed help probating my sister’s estate in FL. She was very clear about everything—her availability, fees, scope of the project, and importantly, my role. Everything went smoothly and she was available to answer my questions as we went along by phone or email, usually the same day. She is courteous, professional and efficient. I highly recommend working with Renee.

    I can’t possibly say enough postive things about Renee. She is professional, knowledgable, empathetic, sympathetic, and is an expert probate attorney who walked us through the complex probate process in Collier County FL. Despite my folks having Collier County lawyers (a different firm) draft and finalize all of their estate docs, wills, etc – the close timing of their deaths (10 days apart) left us dazed, confused, and facing a complex probate process that we simply could not have navigated without her help and assitance. She was a true gem and blessing to my sister and I, and helped us through a very emotionally challenging, and legally complex process with dignity, integrity, timeliness, and empathy. She is a true star, who unlike many lawyers today, billed us at exactly what she quoted to us for the entire 8 month process. We couldn’t possibly give her any stronger recommendation or reference than that.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Why should I avoid Probate Avoidance Deed for Florida real estate?

      Probate can delay property transfers, increase legal costs, and make your estate details a public record. Using Florida Probate Avoidance Deed, such as Lady Bird or Enhanced Life Estate Deeds, can help your beneficiaries receive property quickly and privately, without court involvement.

    • What is a Lady Bird Deed?

      A Lady Bird Deed, formally known as an Enhanced Life Estate Deed, allows you to keep full control of your property during your lifetime, including the right to sell or mortgage it, and automatically transfers ownership to your chosen beneficiary upon death. It’s one of the most effective tools for Probate Avoidance Deeds in Florida.

    • What is an Enhanced Life Estate Deed?

      A Enhanced Life Estate Deeds designates who will inherit your Florida property once you pass away. Like the Lady Bird Deed, it allows your property to bypass probate, simplifying the inheritance process and reducing administrative costs.

    • Should I use an LLC for Florida real property transfers?

      While LLCs can provide liability protection, there are also reasons to avoid transferring to an LLC. There are potential issues which include the loss of homestead exemptions, reassessment of property taxes, and mortgage acceleration clauses. The Florida Bar Journal has an article listing the benefits and considerations of transferring Florida real property to an LLC.

    • How do you ensure Florida deeds align with my client’s out-of-state estate plan?

      We collaborate directly with out-of-state attorneys to confirm the Florida deed complements existing trusts, wills, and estate plans. Every document is reviewed for consistency with both Florida law and the originating jurisdiction’s plan.

    • What’s the turnaround time for preparing a Florida Lady Bird Deed?

      In most cases, deed preparation and recording can be completed within 3 to 4 business days once all required information is received. Expedited services are available upon request.

    • Do you handle Florida’s Documentary Stamp Tax filings?

      Yes. Our firm calculates and files the applicable Florida Documentary Stamp Tax to ensure compliance during recording. We provide clients and attorneys with detailed receipts and documentation for their records.

    • How do you maintain confidentiality for out-of-state clients?

      We value the trust of every client and law firm we serve. All information shared with our office is handled under strict confidentiality protocols, ensuring that sensitive client and estate details remain secure and private.
