We offer flat-fee probate services starting at $1,500 and guide clients through every step of the probate process.
What Is Probate in Florida?
Probate is the court-supervised process of transferring ownership of assets after death. Probate may be required to transfer
• Real estate
• Bank accounts
• Investment accounts
• Vehicles
• Other assets titled in the deceased person’s name
Without probate, beneficiaries may not be able to legally access or transfer these assets.
Summary Administration – Faster Probate Option
Summary administration is a simplified probate process available when:
• The estate is valued at $75,000 or less, or
• The person has been deceased for more than two years
Summary administration is often completed in as little as 2–8 weeks.
Formal Probate Administration:
Formal probate is required for larger or more complex estates. This process involves:
• Appointment of a personal representative
• Notifying creditors
• Collecting and distributing assets
Formal probate typically takes 6–12 months.
