During the probate process, a deceased person’s assets are identified, inventoried, valued and distributed to heirs and creditors.
If there is a will, the property will be distributed according to the will. If no will exists, it will be distributed according to Florida intestate succession laws (usually going to close family members).
Generally, the court will name a personal representative to handle the estate administration.
At our law office, we provide advice to personal representatives throughout the Florida probate process.
