Protect Your Family
Understanding Probate Law
If your loved one has a will, the estate will go through a legal process called probate. If your loved one has a Trust, the estate will go through a process called trust administration.
In Florida probate, the assets of a deceased person’s estate are distributed to the heirs or beneficiaries and final debts are settled. The probate estate consists of all property held in the decedent’s name.
Probate is managed through the circuit court in the county of the deceased person’s residence at the time of death. The court oversees the payment of any outstanding fees, debts and taxes, the execution of the will and the proper distribution of the decedent’s assets.
