Florida Probate Services We Provide

FLProb8 focuses exclusively on probate matters under Florida law. Our services are designed to meet families where they are — emotionally and geographically — while ensuring all court requirements are handled correctly.

Formal Probate Administration

Formal administration is the most common type of Florida probate and is required for larger or more complex estates.

This process typically involves:

  • Filing a petition with the probate court
  • Appointment of a personal representative
  • Identification and protection of estate assets
  • Notice to creditors and beneficiaries
  • Payment of valid debts and expenses
  • Preparation of required inventories and accountings
  • Distribution of remaining assets
  • Closing the estate

Formal probate is court-supervised and often takes several months to over a year, depending on complexity. FLProb8 manages deadlines, filings, and procedural requirements so personal representatives can focus on their families.

Summary Administration (Streamlined Probate)

Some Florida estates qualify for summary administration, a faster probate option available when:

  • The estate value meets statutory thresholds, or
  • The decedent has been deceased for more than two years

Summary administration typically does not require appointment of a personal representative and may allow assets to be distributed more quickly.

We help determine eligibility and prepare all required documentation to avoid delays or rejected filings.

Ancillary Probate (Out-of-State Estates with Florida Property)

If a loved one lived outside Florida but owned property here, ancillary probate may be required.

This process allows Florida real estate or titled assets to be transferred properly while coordinating with the primary probate case in another state.

FLProb8 regularly assists:

  • Out-of-state heirs
  • Executors from other jurisdictions
  • Families managing Florida property remotely

Most ancillary probate matters can be handled without requiring you to travel.

Personal Representative Guidance

Serving as a personal representative (executor) comes with legal responsibilities and fiduciary duties.

FLProb8 provides step-by-step guidance on:

  • Asset protection
  • Required notices
  • Creditor claims
  • Estate accounting
  • Distributions to beneficiaries
  • Proper estate closure

We help personal representatives avoid common mistakes that can cause delays, disputes, or personal liability.

Probate Court Filings & Compliance

Florida probate involves strict procedural rules and deadlines.

Our team handles:

  • Court petitions and pleadings
  • Required notices
  • Inventories and accountings
  • Creditor claim processes
  • Final distribution documentation

We ensure filings are accurate, timely, and compliant with Florida probate requirements.

Serving Families Throughout the Entire State of Florida

 

FLProb8 provides probate legal services in all 67 Florida counties, including major metro areas and rural communities alike.

Many probate matters can be handled remotely, allowing us to assist:

  • Florida residents
  • Out-of-state heirs
  • Families managing estates from across the country

If the decedent owned property or assets in Florida, we can help — regardless of where you live.

 

Do You Need Probate in Florida?

Probate may be required if:

  • Assets were held solely in the decedent’s name
  • Florida real estate was not jointly owned or in a trust
  • Accounts lacked beneficiary designations
  • Financial institutions require court appointment

Not every estate requires formal probate. Some qualify for summary administration or other alternatives.

A brief consultation can help determine the appropriate path forward.
