Why Choose Us?
When a loved one’s Largo estate turns into a dispute, the first few weeks matter more than many families expect. Papers get served, objection periods begin, and the person controlling the estate keeps making decisions. Matt Weidner has practiced in Florida’s courts for over 25 years, and probate and general litigation are among the areas he focuses on. He can look at what you have been sent, tell you which deadlines apply, and explain where you stand before you decide anything.
Probate litigation is personal. There is usually a sibling, a stepparent or a caregiver on the other side, and a parent’s Largo home or savings in the middle. We help you separate the legal questions from the family history, weigh whether a claim is worth bringing or defending, and act in time. You can often work with Matt directly, an experienced lawyer, rather than being passed to a junior staffer.
If estate papers have reached you or a deadline may be running, ask Matt for a free case evaluation today.

Frequently Asked Questions
Generally 3 months from the date you were served with the notice of administration. Florida law bars objections to a will’s validity filed after that window, so call us as soon as you are served.
You can ask the probate court to step in. Florida law lists grounds for removing a personal representative, including wasting or mismanaging estate assets and failing to obey a court order. Matt can review what you are seeing and explain whether a petition makes sense.
Yes. There is no charge for the case evaluation and no obligation to move forward. You can use it simply to understand your options and the deadlines that apply before deciding whether a dispute is worth pursuing.
Yes. What matters is where the estate is handled. If your parent or relative lived in Largo, the probate case generally belongs in Pinellas County, and Matt can help family members wherever they live, by phone or at his St. Petersburg office.

Weidner Law Handles Largo Probate Litigation in Pinellas County Courts
Weidner Law represents Largo families in contested estates from its office at 856 2nd Ave N in St. Petersburg, in the same county. Largo lies between Clearwater and Seminole in central Pinellas and more than a quarter of its residents are 65 or older, and Florida law places a resident’s probate case in the county where they were domiciled, so a will contest or fiduciary dispute over a Largo estate is litigated in Pinellas County.
Pinellas County is part of Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit, which hears probate cases in a Clearwater section and a St. Petersburg section, and the Clerk keeps probate court records at the Clearwater Courthouse on Court Street and at its St. Petersburg branch. Matt handles Largo will contests and personal representative disputes in these courts, and appeals from the Sixth Circuit go to the Second District Court of Appeal, which matters when a probate ruling needs review.

What Weidner Law Brings to a Largo Probate Litigation Case
Florida’s probate rules make will contests, petitions to revoke probate and actions to remove or surcharge a personal representative adversary proceedings unless the court orders otherwise, and once formal notice is served they run much like a civil lawsuit under the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. A contested estate in Largo needs a lawyer who is comfortable with pleadings, discovery, depositions and hearings, not only estate paperwork.
Matt’s court work reaches well beyond estates. After the 2008 financial crisis he represented hundreds of Florida homeowners facing foreclosure, and he has trained attorneys across the U.S. in foreclosure defense. That litigation background is what he brings when a Largo estate dispute moves into motions, discovery and hearings in Pinellas County.
How Matt Weidner Handles Will Contests and Estate Disputes in Largo
When Matt reviews a Largo will contest, he looks at the grounds Florida law recognizes: whether the person had the mental capacity to make a will, whether it was signed and witnessed as the law requires, and whether its execution was procured by fraud, duress, mistake or undue influence. Disputes often begin with a late change to a will that favored a caregiver, a new spouse or one child over the others. Others start after the will is admitted, when a personal representative stops sharing information, sells property without explanation, or treats the estate as their own.
Matt can represent people on either side of these cases: family members who believe a will or an administration is wrong, and personal representatives and beneficiaries defending against claims they believe are unfounded. The first step is a free evaluation, where Matt can look at the will, any court papers you have and your timeline, then explain what a challenge or a defense would involve in Pinellas County probate court.
