What Does Probate in Florida Involve?
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate. It includes validating the will, paying final debts, and distributing remaining assets. Whether your loved one had a will or died intestate (without a will), the court must oversee the transfer of property unless specific exemptions apply.

Which Probate Path Applies to You?
In Florida, there are different types of probate based on the estate’s value and complexity. Formal administration is used for most estates, especially when real estate is involved. Summary administration may be an option if the estate’s value is under $75,000 or if the person passed more than two years ago. We help determine which path is appropriate for your situation in Charleston Park.
