Central Florida Family Estates – 18th Judicial Circuit
Seminole County—Sanford (county seat), Lake Mary, Oviedo, Altamonte Springs, Longwood, and Winter Springs—anchors Orlando’s suburban growth with top schools, Research Park executives, and Lake Monroe waterfront homes. Family estates ($100K-$500K) dominate, often with guardian nominations for minors and professional 401(k)s.
Senator Grant’s 57 Years Guiding Seminole Families
Former Florida Senator John Grant shaped the probate laws governing Seminole County’s 18th Judicial Circuit. Since 1968, John Grant, P.A. has settled thousands of Central Florida estates—from Oviedo family homes to Lake Mary executive portfolios.
Seminole Estate Types We Handle Daily
- Oviedo/Longwood Families: Formal administration for homes over $75K, guardian nominations, minor beneficiaries
