Fisher & Wilsey, P.A.: A Family-Run St. Petersburg Estate Practice, Now Led by George Wilsey's Sons, That Guides Out-of-State and Overseas Families Through Florida Probate

By Expert Attorneys

Fisher & Wilsey, P.A. is a family-run St. Petersburg estate-planning and probate firm founded in 1962 by Robert W. Fisher and George F. Wilsey. Today George's sons, David F. Wilsey and Steven M. Wilsey, are the firm's partners and primary shareholders. They practice alongside attorneys Seymour A. Gordon, Abigail W. Bahr, and Chase L. Wilsey. For more than 60 years the firm has handled Florida probate estates and given practical advice to families and individuals. That history includes work with small-business owners, veterans, same-sex couples, and people of many ethnic and religious backgrounds, and it includes guiding families from around the world through Florida probate.

The docket covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health-care directives, Medicaid and long-term-care planning, tax planning, probate administration and probate litigation, trust administration, elder law, real-estate law, business law, civil litigation, and guardianship. A will or trust signed in the office can be administered, and if necessary litigated, by the same firm, and a later Medicaid, real-estate, or business filing can stay on 16th Street.

The office is at 1000 16th Street N in St. Petersburg and serves clients throughout St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, and the greater Tampa Bay area. The firm's Google rating is 4.8 from 34 reviews.

An out-of-state or overseas family opening a Florida probate, a small-business succession, and a later guardianship or Medicaid-planning file can all stay with a practice still led by the founder's sons more than sixty years after the 1962 opening. That family succession inside the firm is the structure of the office, not a generic St. Petersburg estate listing. Real-estate closings and title work are listed among the firm's additional practice areas, so a later sale or title issue can stay with the same lawyers who already hold the estate file. Guardianship is a listed practice area as well, which matters when an aging client later needs a guardian rather than only a will or a trust.
