 As a Probate Attorney in Venice FL and St. Petersburg, Robert has helped many people in Southwest Florida determine whether probate is necessary, and guided them with the probate process.

Types of Probate in Florida

The following is a brief overview of the most common types of court proceedings used in Florida to pass title of a decedent’s assets to the heirs or beneficiaries.

Please Note:  The term ‘testate’ means there is a will.
The term ‘intestate’ means there is no will.
The term ‘decedent’ refers to the person who has passed away.

Summary administration – may be used in an estate administration if the value of the entire estate subject to administration in Florida, less the value of property exempt from the claims of creditors (e.g., homestead exempted property), does not exceed $75,000, or if the decedent has been dead for more than 2 years.

Formal administration (Florida Statutes, Chapter 733) – must be used if the decedent’s estate does not qualify for summary administration, that is the decedent has not been dead for more than 2 years and the value of decedent’s assets subject to administration in this state exceeds $75,000.

Even if a person dies without a will (“intestate”), a personal representative should always engage a qualified probate attorney to assist in the administration of the probate estate. Even in the simplest probate estate administration, legal issues could arise, many of which are unfamiliar to non-attorneys. The attorney for the personal representative represents and counsels the personal representative on his or her duties and obligations under Florida law to make sure the estate is properly administered from start to finish.
