Understanding the Probate Process in Gulf Harbor

Probate is a court-supervised procedure used to distribute a deceased person’s assets. In Gulf Harbor, this applies when the decedent owned assets titled in their name alone—like real estate, vehicles, or bank accounts. If there’s a valid will, the court will authorize the personal representative to follow its instructions. Without a will, Florida intestacy laws apply.
