Terms of Use

Who we are

Rachel Schadt Law (probate.help) is a Florida law firm based in Sarasota, founded in 2018. We provide legal services in Florida probate, estate planning, and trust administration. Our content on this site is for educational purposes; legal services are provided only under a signed engagement letter.

Use of this site

You're welcome to read, share, and reference our published content. We aim to be a useful, plain-English resource for Floridians navigating probate and planning.

You agree not to:

• Use this site for any unlawful purpose.
• Attempt to compromise the security or integrity of our systems.
• Reproduce substantial portions of our content commercially without permission (linking and quoting are fine).
• Misrepresent yourself when using our forms or contact channels.

Educational content, not legal advice

Articles, guides, FAQs, and tools on this site are general educational information about Florida law. They're not legal advice for your specific situation, and reading them does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Florida law is nuanced; your facts matter. Before relying on anything you read here for a real-world decision, consult an attorney who can evaluate your specific situation. Our 30-minute consults are free.

Tools and calculators

Our calculators (cost calculator, eligibility quiz, heir visualizer) are educational. Their outputs reflect general Florida statutory rules and our flat-fee structure but are not personalized legal advice. Real cases turn on facts that a calculator cannot capture.

We work hard to keep tool logic accurate as Florida law changes. If you spot an error, please tell us — we fix them quickly.

Linking and third-party content

We link to third-party resources (court websites, state agencies, Florida Bar) where useful. We're not responsible for the accuracy or availability of third-party content. We don't endorse products or services on third-party sites unless explicitly stated.

No guarantees

Probate timelines, costs, and outcomes vary by case. Information published here reflects typical Florida cases; your case may move faster or slower, cost more or less, and resolve differently. We don't guarantee outcomes — no honest law firm can.

When you engage us under a signed engagement letter, we describe scope, fees, and reasonable timeline expectations clearly. Those terms govern our work.

Intellectual property

Original content on this site (articles, guides, photographs, design) is copyright the firm. You may quote and link freely with attribution. For substantial reproduction, please ask. Our brand marks and logos are not licensed for third-party use.

Limitation of liability

Our website is provided as-is. We do our best to keep content accurate and current, but we don't warrant that everything is error-free. To the fullest extent allowed by Florida law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of this site or its content.

Florida governing law

These terms are governed by Florida law. Any dispute arising from this site is subject to the jurisdiction of Florida courts in Sarasota County.
