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.
