HARRIS SCHWARTZBERG TRUST; Steven Schwartzberg Trust; Judith Schwartzberg Trust; Schwartzberg Descendants Trust; Steven Schwartzberg 2003 Trust; Harris Schwartzberg 2003 Trust; Judith Schwartzberg 2003 Trust; JS Midwest Trust; HS Midwest Trust # 1; FAM Midwest Trust; Harris Schwartzberg 2004 Gst Trust 1; Judith Schwartzberg 2004 GST Trust 1; Harris Schwartzberg 2004 GST Trust 2; Schwartzberg Family 2004 GST Trust; Schwartzberg 2004 Descendants Trust, Appellants, v. Eva L. BELL, as Personal Representative of the ESTATE OF Eugene McNEAL, Appellee.
    No. 2D11-3613.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Nov. 7, 2012.
    Rehearing Denied Dec. 27, 2012.
    Antonio A. Cifuentes and Daniel E. Dias of Mancuso & Dias, P.A., Tampa, for Appellants.
    Isaac R. Ruiz-Carus of Wilkes & McHugh, P.A., Tampa, for Appellee.
   MORRIS, Judge.

The appellants, various named trust defendants in the underlying nursing home litigation, seek review of a nonfinal order denying their motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. The facts and posture of this case are indistinguishable from those in Schwartzberg v. Knobloch, 98 So.3d 173 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012). For the reasons set forth therein, we conclude that Eva Bell, as personal representative of the estate of Eugene McNeal, did not prove a basis for long-arm jurisdiction over the trust defendants under section 48.193, Florida Statutes (2009).

Reversed and remanded.

DAVIS and VILLANTI, JJ„ Concur.
