What is Florida Probate?




Florida Probate in a nutshell:

  • Florida probate administration is a court process.
  • Assets are collected, creditors are paid and beneficiaries receive whatever remains.
  • Assets = Real Estate or Personal Property
  • Two kinds of “Florida Probate”:  Summary & Formal
  • The existence of a Will does not eliminate the need for probate
  • In Florida, “Personal Representatives” are in charge of “probating” the estate
  • Personal Representatives must have attorney representation (attorneys do most of the work)
  • Most probate cases are filed by mail with telephone hearings (so your attorney does not have to be in the county where probate is required)
