Understanding Your Options
Each state has specific laws put in place, and Florida is no different. There are three types of probate, known as formal administration, summary administration and the disposition of personal property without administration.
Formal administration is for those who passed away less than two years ago and their estate exceeds $75,000. Summary administration is when the estate has a value of less than $75,000. Disposition of personal property without administration is rare but can be used in some cases in which the estate is of minimal value.
Probate is a complicated, court-supervised process that can be time-consuming. It involves gathering all of the deceased person’s assets, paying off any remaining debt and then distributing the leftover assets to the correct beneficiaries. Our firm understands how tremendously complicated this can be, especially right after the loss of a loved one. We take this burden off of our client’s shoulders in order to give them time to grieve. With the right attorney, you can rest assured that things will be handled properly.
