What Is Probate?
Probate is the court-supervised legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is validated, debts are settled, and remaining assets are distributed to heirs or beneficiaries. Under Florida law, most estates must pass through some form of probate before assets can be transferred – even when a valid will exists. In most cases, Florida law requires attorney representation to file probate.
