Most have a lawyer referral service that help you select attorneys that have the needed specialties. What is nice that that generally the first "get to know each other" appointment is a minimal cost. For simple legal problems that can be enough to get the information needed to resolve the problem.

I'd look for "Wills, Trusts & Estates" - that is what the Florida Bar lists on their referral site : http://www.floridabar.org/names.nsf/MESearchDK?OpenForm#Certs
Go to Expanded Search, then click the + in front of "Certified in these areas of law:" to see all the specialties they list.
