Frequently Asked Questions

Factual details and direct answers about Adkinson Law Firm, LLC (Clay B. Adkinson, Esq.) & Law Office of Dennis L. Pratt, Esq. — US-90 West Probate, Estate & Rural Land Counsel Serving Ponce de Leon & Westville's services, licensing, and credentials.

Why are Adkinson Law Firm, LLC and Dennis L. Pratt, Esq. in DeFuniak Springs important legal resources for Ponce de Leon and Westville seniors?

Ponce de Leon (32455) and Westville (32464) sit on the western edge of Holmes County along US Highway 90 and I-10, just 10 to 15 minutes east of DeFuniak Springs, and have zero resident attorneys inside their town limits. Adkinson Law Firm, LLC ((850) 892-5195) and Dennis L. Pratt, Esq. ((850) 951-2244) provide the closest full-service wills, trusts, real property, and probate offices for western Holmes County families, filing Holmes County probate matters with the Clerk of Court at 201 N. Oklahoma Street in Bonifay.

Can these attorneys handle estates that own homestead or timberland in both Holmes County and Walton County?

Yes. Because many families in Westville, Ponce de Leon, and Leonia hold contiguous farmland or timber parcels straddling the Holmes County (14th Judicial Circuit) and Walton County (1st Judicial Circuit) border, Attorneys Clay Adkinson (Florida Bar #20500) and Dennis Pratt (Florida Bar #814954) coordinate unified revocable trusts, Lady Bird deeds, and probate filings across both county courthouses.
