What Is Probate?

Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a deceased person’s affairs—paying debts, handling legal claims, and distributing remaining assets. In Florida, probate is often required even when a will is in place.

Our firm helps clients:

Determine whether probate is needed
Understand which assets are subject to probate
File petitions and notices with the court
Manage timelines, filings, and deadlines
Represent the Personal Representative (Executor)
Address claims from creditors or heirs
Ensure accurate and timely asset distribution

Formal vs. Summary Administration

Florida offers two primary types of probate:

Formal Administration – Required for most estates, especially those over $75,000 or with complex distributions.
Summary Administration – A simplified, faster process available for smaller estates or when the decedent has been deceased for more than two years.

We’ll help you determine which process applies—and handle every step from start to finish.

Who We Represent

We represent:

Personal Representatives (Executors)
Surviving spouses and family members
Heirs or beneficiaries
Out-of-state executors handling Florida assets

We also assist with ancillary probate when the decedent lived outside of Florida but owned real property in the state.

Why You Need a Probate Attorney

Florida probate involves strict legal deadlines, court filings, and potential personal liability for the executor. Having an experienced attorney protects you from:

Costly mistakes in distributions
Disputes with creditors or heirs
Delays due to incomplete filings
Liability for mishandling the estate
