Private document review and coordination from our Kissimmee office, serving Orlando and clients across all 50 states.
Where should an estate document review begin?
Begin with a list of the documents requested by the overseas institution or your attorney. Identify each document’s title, issuer or place of notarization and destination country. One estate matter may involve documents from different jurisdictions, so a single processing route should not be assumed.
Choose the guide that matches your document
- Powers of attorney: identify the signed document and its notarization.
- Wills and trust documents: confirm the specific instrument or certified record requested.
- Existing Florida court records: identify the court, case and certification available.
- Death certificates: identify the issuing vital-records authority.

Keep legal preparation separate from apostille coordination
Your attorney should address drafting, execution, inheritance rights, probate and legal effect abroad. Our role is administrative review and coordination of eligible documents you provide. We do not create an estate plan, draft legal instruments or advise on the distribution of assets.
What determines the apostille route?
The relevant signature or certification and jurisdiction matter. Florida’s published instructions cover eligible notarized documents and certified public records as different categories. The applicable governmental authority decides whether a document meets its requirements.
How do I request an estimate for several documents?
Send an initial list with the document titles, jurisdictions, destination country, deadline and translation needs. Tell us whether all documents must arrive together. Our team can review the coordination required and discuss a case-specific estimate before you send originals.
Government issuance and the recipient’s acceptance remain outside our control. Do not change an executed legal instrument solely to seek an apostille without consulting your legal adviser.
