Eternally Grateful for Her Assistance

She was very professional and also took the time to educate me. She went above and beyond! I am eternally grateful for her assistance during a very hard time in my life.

Highly Recommend Leep Law Group PLLC
We hired Leep Law Group to handle a probate matter that was time sensitive. I am a real estate agent and had a property under contract when it was discovered that the property was held 50% in the name of a deceased family member and 50% by the individual who was to inherit it. Since it was required to probate the deceased's Last Will & Testament, it became necessary to do so. The family did not have the original Will, which complicated the matter, but Leep Law Group took on the assignment anyway. The lead attorney was Christine Venezia and her assistant Jada were amazing.
They were proficient with filing the necessary documents while communicating with us during the entire process, and their follow-up skills were truly impressive. The process was not an easy one; however, they accomplished it and the Court issued the final Order to close the probate matter. We are now able to move forward with the closing on the property.
We would highly recommend Leep Law Group PLLC and now have them on speed-dial for future reference.
Terry Brunner
Highly recommend
I dealt primarily with Christine and Daniella. They made me aware of possible options at the onset and spelled out the process start to finish. When they needed something from me, it was at my pace, and once they had it, it was typically in the court's hands within a day or two. They followed up, letting me know where in the process we were and how long the courts typically take, and also responded to questions quickly. They charge a fixed rate, so they make their money by being efficient instead of trying to cram as many lawyers in a room as possible and run up the billables. Highly recommend.
Paul Steiner
Everyone Was So Helpful and Professional
Everyone was so helpful and professional during a very difficult time. Probate progressed quickly and communication was wonderful. Thank you all so much.
Irene Steiner
Professional and Understanding
The LEEP Law Group was professional and understanding. Our experience with the probate process had some twists and turns, which is often the case. They remained courteous and helpful and guided us through the entire process. We would highly recommend the Law Group to anyone needing these services. Ms. Venezia and Ms. Brunner were terrific to work with.
Vincent Agostino
Tremendous to work with throughout
Managing the legal aspects of an estate is always a confusing, daunting, and emotional event. Where to start and what to do, no matter how organized you may be, is challenging. Tara Wood and her team at LEEP have been tremendous to work with throughout this period. When my mother died, we had to deal with multiple aspects of settling the estate, the least of which was filing with both the State of Florida and, because my mother was retired from the U.S. Government, with them also. When reviewing steps and documents required, Tara and her team were professional, understanding, and respectful in explaining requirements. They then religiously followed through planned actions, keeping me updated throughout. Their support allowed me to focus on other aspects of resolving the estate and bringing this to a close. As an added bonus, their fees were reasonable, clearly explained, and competitive/better than friends who recently had to go through similar situations. I have been very happy and satisfied with Tara and the LLG and would recommend them to anyone.
John Gargaro
Outstanding Experience with Tara
I had an outstanding experience working with Tara and her estate and probate law team. From the very beginning, she was incredibly compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable—exactly what you need when dealing with something as emotional and complex as probate.
Tara took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, making sure I felt informed and comfortable with each decision. She was always responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about helping my family navigate a difficult time with as little stress as possible.
Her attention to detail and expertise in estate law gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled correctly and efficiently. It’s rare to find someone who combines legal skill with such a personal, empathetic approach.
I highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of estate or probate services—you will be in excellent hands.
Hanna Headlee
This Team Made All the Difference
Navigating probate is never easy, but this team made all the difference. They were incredibly compassionate, understanding, and supportive during a difficult time for my family. They took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and truly cared about helping us through the process. I’m so grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend Leep Law Group to anyone dealing with probate matters.
Maria Arevalo

Davon Jennings
Five star service from start to finish
I recently worked with Tara Wood to settle my mother’s estate, and now to handle my personal will, POA, and etc. I couldn't be more satisfied. Five star service from start to finish. She and her team were incredibly professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. They navigated the complex probate process with ease, ensuring every detail was handled accurately and on time. I highly recommend Leep Law Group for anyone needing expert estate settlement services.
April Deitz
They Are My Go-To for Probate
As a realtor, I really appreciate the experience and knowledge this group delivers. They are my go-to for all probate matters!
Amanda Savage
Tara Was by Far the Best Attorney
Tara was by far the best attorney I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. What really sets her and the firm apart is how incredibly responsive they are. Whether it is a phone call or an email, many attorneys take a day or two to reply, but their normal response is almost always within the same hour.
Tara guided me through the challenges of my parent's probate with grace. I cannot thank her enough for all her guidance. One final perk is that she worked on a flat fee. I never once received a bill for anything miscellaneous or any other hourly fees as other lawyers typically do.
My experience was so positive that I recommended my sister use her as well. She also had a great experience.
If you want to be treated well and have great legal advice, this is the only firm you should work with. They are a true gem.
Marc Stiller
Tara was just as advertised
When the time came for my wife and me to find an attorney to help us navigate the world of probate law after a loved one passed, we decided on securing the services of Attorney Tara Wood, of Legacy Estate Elder & Probate Law Group. Our research told us that she was a person who would be able to help us understand what to expect and guide us through probate with empathy and understanding.
Tara was just as advertised and helped us come out the other side of the process without any unexpected complications or costs. As a matter of fact, we have secured her services to assist us in updating our wills to make it easier on our family when the time comes.
When you find yourself in need of a highly qualified Elder & Probate Law attorney that will treat you with compassion and understanding, do yourself a favor and contact the offices of Tara Wood for a consultation. You’ll be glad you did.

I can’t thank her enough for all she did!

I have dealt with various attorneys throughout my lifetime, but none can come close to the caliber of Tara Wood! I feel truly blessed to have found an attorney who is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the probate, estate, and trust process, as well as empathetic, and reassured me throughout the entire process.

I am very grateful to Tara and her team! And I can wholeheartedly, confidently recommend her law firm to anyone in search of highly competent, responsive, and compassionate legal representation!
Thank you, Tara!!!
Rose Alexander
She Is Exemplary
I live in North Carolina and am the executor of my cousin's estate in Rhode Island. She had an issue that involved a time share. The company said it would need to be resolved in Probate Court in Florida. I contacted Tara Wood to resolve the issue. Initially, I dealt with her staff to provide some background information before I had a conference call with Attorney Wood. Her staff is excellent: patient, efficient, and communicated extremely well. I then had a conference call with Attorney Wood, who explained that she may be able to resolve the issue without having to go through the expensive process of going to Probate Court. She is very articulate and explained the possible solutions. She was able to resolve the issue within one week without me having to go through Probate Court. She is excellent. I worked for the federal judiciary for 34 years, so I have had a lot of experience with attorneys. She is exemplary based on my experience with her and the legal profession. I highly recommend her.
Dennis Iavarone

I Could Not Recommend Anyone More Highly
It’s actually difficult finding the right words to say to thank someone who helped you through the hardest point of your life. After the passing of my mother, Tara was my lifeline when it came to navigating a complicated probate process. She stayed in contact with me throughout everything, fiercely advocated for what was best for our family, and answered all 600 of my questions with patience and understanding. I could not recommend anyone more highly for your estate law needs.
Faith
You Were Truly a Blessing
Tara handled the estate/probate after my mother passed, and she made the whole process, which was not straightforward by any means, very comfortable for my family to understand and communicated everything through each step. I highly recommend her to help navigate this process for your family. She made something that seemed so overwhelming feel possible every step of the way while working closely with my sister to get everything done. My family cannot begin to thank you for what you’ve done for us, Tara. You were truly a blessing during a scary and confusing time in our lives.
Ashley Sciarratta
A very professional, caring, and diligent lawyer
Tara is a very professional, caring, and diligent lawyer and friend. She was able to help my family through the estate process and take a lot of weight off of my sister’s back, who was the main executor of the estate. The care and hard work that Tara put in over the months of legal work required for our case was remarkable. She was always in contact with my sister, keeping our entire family updated, and left no room for wondering. Tara has been a friend of our family for years, and I am confident that she treats every client with the same professionalism, swiftness, and courtesy that she afforded my family. Thank you, Tara!

Great experience with LEEP Law Group
I had a great experience working with LEEP Law Group, especially Tara Wood, while handling my mother's legal and estate matters. Tara was professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful in guiding us through the initial steps. We had originally planned to work with them on additional estate planning, but unfortunately, circumstances changed unexpectedly, so we only completed the first portions of the process. Throughout everything, Tara and her team were responsive, patient, and easy to work with during a difficult time. I really appreciated their help and would definitely recommend LEEP Law Group.

Not all estates must go through probate. Smaller estates may qualify for simplified procedures, and some assets can bypass probate if they are jointly owned, held in trust, or have designated beneficiaries, such as life insurance or retirement accounts. It's best to consult with a probate attorney to determine if probate is necessary.
How much does probate cost?
Probate costs vary depending on factors such as estate size, jurisdiction, and complexity. Common expenses include court fees, attorney fees, appraisal fees, and executor fees. Costs can be a percentage of the estate value or charged hourly. Detailed planning can help reduce many of these expenses.
Are probate records public?
Yes, probate records are generally public. Once a will is submitted for probate, related documents and proceedings become publicly accessible, allowing interested parties to view details about the estate's administration. This transparency is part of the legal process to ensure fairness and accountability.
What is probate?
Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone dies. It involves the validation of their will, if one exists, and the administration of their estate. During probate, assets are identified and appraised, debts and taxes are paid, and any remaining assets are distributed to beneficiaries as specified in the will or according to state law if there is no will.
