What Is Probate in Florida?

Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate under court supervision. Our probate attorneys in Florida help with every step, including:

• Identifying and valuing estate assets
• Paying valid debts and final expenses
• Distributing remaining assets to rightful heirs

Depending on the estate’s size and complexity, we handle either summary administration for small estates or formal administration for larger ones.
