The Probate Process in Florida
Probate is a legal process that oversees the distribution of a deceased person’s assets. In Florida, probate ensures that the decedent’s estate is settled according to their will or, in cases where no will exists, in accordance with state law. This process can involve validating the will, paying outstanding debts or taxes, resolving claims against the estate, and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries.
While probate serves a critical role in estate administration, it can also be time-consuming, complex, and potentially costly. At Kitroser Lewis & Mighdoll, our attorneys are here to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible for you and your family.
