What Happens During Probate in Florida?
Probate is a court-supervised process required to settle an estate after someone passes away. Whether or not a will exists, the estate must typically go through probate before assets can be legally distributed. In Florida, this includes:
- Filing a petition to open probate
- Notifying heirs and creditors
- Managing claims and debts
- Handling property and bank accounts
- Distributing remaining assets to rightful heirs
The process can vary in length and complexity based on factors such as estate size, presence of a will, and disputes among beneficiaries.
