Probate

 

Our attorneys are always in high demand. One huge certainty in Florida is probate.

Probate is the legal process used in Florida by which property in the estate of a

Florida resident is transferred to the heirs or intended beneficiaries of that deceased

person. Simply, it's how we get the assets of the deceased into the hands of the living.

Probate is always necessary in Florida. Whether or not the decedent has a Will,

the estate will must encounter the Florida probate court in order to be distributed.

 

Probate Is the Mandatory Process of Transferring Assets to

Beneficiaries

Florida Law requires professional legal representation during probate proceedings when the estate is over $75,000. The probate process becomes even more complicated with a larger and more complex estate. One can generally expect the probate process to last at least 6 months for simpler estates and it is common for the probate of more complicated estates to last years before it is resolved. Our attorneys have the experience and understand what's necessary to take a daunting situation and turn it into an easy and cost-effective transition.
