Florida Probate

In Florida, upon a person's death, his or her assets are transferred to probate court.  The term "probate" refers to the process of identifying and distributing the assets according to the will or Florida law.  Probate also includes giving notice to potential creditors.  For the most part, any probate estate that is valued over $75,000 will be subject to probate, unless a trust is in place.

Probate takes at least four months to complete and can take even longer if there are complications.  Problems often arise during probate and the personal representative could be held liable if something goes wrong.  At Matthew A. Linde, P.A., we can help you by reviewing documents and guiding you through the process.
