Probate is sometimes a misunderstood area of law. The general purpose of probate is to distribute a person’s assets after they die, according to their wishes if directed by a will or as prescribed by the Florida statutes.
If you die without a will, your estate is “intestate.” If you have a will, your estate is “testate.” In both situations, your estate must be probated.
In Florida, if your estate is valued at $75,000 or less, a summary administration is appropriate. Otherwise, a formal administration is appropriate.
A personal representative or a petitioner who has standing to “probate” an estate, must be represented by a licensed Florida attorney.
The probate process can be filled with unforseen hurdles and delay. We understand that when your loved ones pass, the probate process can be an overwhelming distraction during a time better spent adapting, mourning and coping with your loss.
