Why Choose Us?
When a parent, spouse or relative who lived in Largo passes away, the questions tend to land all at once. Does the estate need probate at all? Who has the original will, and what should they do with it? Can the house be sold, and who is allowed to sign? Florida law gives whoever holds the original will 10 days after learning of the death to deposit it with the clerk, and a Largo resident’s estate is generally opened in Pinellas County, so the first few steps matter.
Matt Weidner has practiced law in Florida for over 25 years, and his office is in St. Petersburg, in the same county as Largo. He often works with families himself, so you can talk through the estate with an experienced probate lawyer. He can look at where things stand, tell you whether summary or formal administration looks like the right route, and lay out what the personal representative should do next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often, yes, if you are a close relative. Florida lets a nonresident serve as personal representative if they are, for example, the spouse, child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew of the person who died. Most other nonresidents cannot serve, and we can review your situation in a free evaluation.
In most Florida probate cases, yes. The Florida Probate Rules require a personal representative to be represented by a Florida attorney, with limited exceptions, such as when the personal representative is the only interested person in the estate or is a Florida attorney. A free evaluation with Matt is a simple way to start.
The deed, the will and the family decide it. A home held with survivorship rights, or by a married couple as tenants by the entirety, usually passes outside probate. A home in one name alone usually goes through probate, and if it was a homestead and a spouse or minor child survives, Florida’s homestead rules limit how it passes.
Yes. The case evaluation and action plan are free, and there is no obligation to hire the firm. Call us or submit the form to tell us about your loved one’s Largo estate, and we will go over the options with you.

A St. Petersburg Probate Lawyer Serving Families in Largo
Largo sits in the heart of Pinellas County and is home to more than 80,000 people, and according to the City of Largo, residents 65 and older make up its largest age group. With so many older residents, settling a parent’s or spouse’s estate is a common need for Largo families, and it helps to have a probate lawyer who works in Pinellas County. Matt Weidner practices from his office at 856 2nd Ave N in St. Petersburg, in the same county, and serves as a probate lawyer for families in Largo.
Because a Largo resident’s estate is usually probated in Pinellas County, the case runs through the Pinellas County Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Sixth Judicial Circuit, the court system for the county where Matt’s office is. That helps Largo families whose children or chosen personal representative live in another state: the Pinellas County filings, deadlines and hearings can move forward with a lawyer in the county, and Matt explains each one in plain terms.

Why Largo Families Bring Estates With a Home to Weidner Law
A City of Largo housing study found that mobile homes make up about 27 percent of the city’s housing, so a Largo estate may hold a mobile home in a park, a single-family house or a condo. Property questions like these are where Weidner Law brings real depth to probate. Matt Weidner is listed in The Best Lawyers in America for Litigation – Real Estate, and his practice covers probate, estate planning and general litigation, so the home and the probate case can be handled together.
Matt looks at what the estate holds, what the will says and whether a home needs to be sold, kept in the family or divided among heirs, then recommends whether summary or formal administration fits. If a relative questions the will or a creditor makes a claim, the same firm that opened the estate can handle it, so a Largo family is not starting over with someone new.
How Matt Weidner Helps Largo Personal Representatives and Heirs
Being named personal representative of a Largo estate brings real responsibility. The role comes with court filings, notice to creditors and the job of protecting estate property until it can be distributed, and creditors generally have three months after the notice to creditors is first published to file their claims. Matt Weidner represents personal representatives through each of these steps, so the estate is handled in order and the person in charge is not left guessing.
Heirs and beneficiaries have questions of their own, especially when they live outside Florida or when a Largo house has to be sold or divided. Matt and the Weidner Law team explain what each person can expect, help keep the process moving, and step in when a will or trust dispute comes up. It all starts with a free case evaluation and action plan from Matt.
