Marc J. Soss
Legal services in the areas of Estate Planning, Business & Probate Law
For the past four (4) decades I have been providing legal services to individuals in the areas of Estate Planning, Elder Law, Asset Protection, Probate & Trust Administration and Litigation, and Probate Avoidance. I have also represented Florida corporate entities, shareholders, LLC members, and partners in business transactions, contract drafting, succession planning, mergers & acquisitions, and business disputes.
My clients include opposite-sex and same-sex couples, business owners, individuals looking to protect their assets from creditor claims, retirees, family members needing guidance in the administration of a Florida probate estate or an inheritance dispute, and relatives of individuals who need to have incapacity determined and a guardianship established.
I am a nationally published author and it would be my pleasure to assist you with your legal matter.

- Q. i added my son to my home deed about 10 years ago
- A: You will need to have him sign a new deed that removes him from the title to the property.
- Q. Am PR for my late father’s estate for almost 3 yrs now. Difficulties working with estate attorney. Options?
- A: As the Personal Representative you are free to engage any attorney you desire to assist you with the probate process. I would express my concerns first to your current and then, if necessary, you can hire a replacement attorney. You must have an attorney assist you through this legal process.
- Q. What do I need to do to make a legal document that in case of death of my husband and myself at same time who inherits
- A: You need to create a Last Will and Testament and/or Revocable Trust to accomplish your goal. If you want to ensure that one child is disinherited I highly recommend that you utilize the services of a legal expert and not an online form. In the alternative, you could title your financial accounts as Pay-on-Death directly to the two (2) children and exclude the third child.
