QUESTION

If a probate attorney steps aside before closing probate can another attorney take over?

Asked on Aug 25th, 2020 on Wills and Probate - Florida
More details to this question:
My dad died with a will leaving me all his property in Kentucky and Florida. At the beginning of Florida probate,  the court designated me as personal representative and executor of the estate, as well as administrator of the will. All funds from his banks in both states were used to open an estate account to pay final expenses and debts. One of the more valuable properties in Florida has been on the market for over a year (there were few inquiries before the plandemic; but, since everything came to a screeching halt: not even one query to date) the sale of which would supply funds to start ancillary probate in Kentucky. My current probate attorney has stepped aside. What will be involved in getting another attorney take over?
