What is "Probate" in Florida?
Probate means that there is a court case that deals with:
-
Deciding if a will exists and is valid
-
Figuring out who are the decedent’s heirs or beneficiaries
-
Figuring out how much the decedent’s property is worth
-
Taking care of the decedent’s financial responsibilities
-
Transferring the decedent’s property to the heirs or beneficiaries
In a probate case, an Executor (if there is a will) or an Administrator (if there is no will) is appointed by the court as the Personal Representative to collect the assets, pay the debts and expenses, and then distribute the remainder of the estate to the beneficiaries (those who have the legal right to inherit), all under the supervision of the court. In Florida, the entire case can take between a few months to a year and a half, maybe even longer, but the Personal Representative can sell any real estate once the Letters of Administration have been ordered by the court.
The Letters of Administration are your official Court powers to administer the estate based on the authority and limitations described in the Orders for Probate. This document must have a seal and is ordered and filed by the court once the Judge has appointed the Personal Representative to represent the estate.
What if you are the attorney?
I work especially well in these situations because I can be a resource for you and your clients. As a Certified Probate Specialist, I have years of experience working with different attorneys and understand how valuable your time is. I work closely with the Personal Representative, Administrator, or Executor to ensure that the probate process goes smoothly and you are informed of any pertinent information.
We will work as a TEAM!
