LEGAL ADVICE IN FLORIDA from FABB’s team of British Attorneys and Solicitors below.
British residents in Florida contact us frequently seeking UK-USA legal advice. They feel more comfortable opening up to a fellow expat who has also faced the hurdles of working and living here OR who has specialist UK-USA legal insights no American lawyer can match OR is a UK-based solicitor/barrister. FABB has established members of the legal profession, all British lawyers licensed in Florida OR as UK solicitors. Like all attorneys, each specialises in a different area. If he/she cannot handle your case they can refer you to a trusted colleague. Each has clients or legal associates in Florida and the UK. —PK, FABB President
► WILLS: If you’re a Brit living in Florida, and therefore more likely to die here, make your will in Florida. That applies even if it involves bequests to relatives over in the UK or property there. We recommend you consult FABB lawyer Gavin Elliott above. If you ever move back to the UK, then make a new one over there.
► To find a qualified Solicitor with physical offices over in the UK consult the UK law society website. https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/
► ► FOR IMMIGRATION MATTERS ONLY, FABB has a Florida-based immigration firm we have worked work exclusively for many years, not shown on this page. Legal Immigration Services: See the IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY WE RECOMMEND page on this website—click on the green EMIGRATE button on Home page.
