Sean Byrne

Attorney Sean Byrne was on the front page of the June edition of the Sarasota County Bar Association’s monthly publication The Docket, a resource of information, entertainment, and dialogue for the lawyers of Sarasota, Osprey, Nokomis, Venice, North Port, and Englewood.

Sean’s article, titled “Underutilized Tools for Non-Adversarial Proceedings,” elaborates on Florida Probate Rule 5.080, which provides a path for all guardianship and probate attorneys to “… take depositions, issue interrogatories, request documents and admissions, and even seek sanctions against a party (or third party) that does not comply with the discovery requests.” In fact, Sean writes, any interested person can make use of this tool in order to conduct discovery in the probate process. Sean’s full article can be found online on the Sarasota County Bar Association website, and the Florida Rules which he discusses can be downloaded at https://floridabar.org/rules/ctproc/.
