Understanding Probate in Florida

Probate is the legal process used to administer a person’s estate after death. In Florida, this process is supervised by the court and may involve identifying assets, resolving creditor claims, and distributing property to beneficiaries.

There are two primary types of probate administration in Florida:

Formal Administration

This is the standard probate process used for most estates. It involves court oversight, appointment of a personal representative, required notices to creditors, and structured distribution of assets.

Summary Administration

This is a simplified process available under certain circumstances, typically when the estate meets specific statutory requirements. While streamlined, it still requires proper documentation and court approval.

The appropriate path depends on the estate’s structure, assets, and timing. During consultation, we help determine which process applies and outline what to expect.

A Modern Approach To Probate & Estate Planning

ProbateIQ was built differently and is dedicated entirely to probate and the estate planning process.

Although based in Fort Myers, ProbateIQ serves clients across Florida. Many probate and estate planning matters can be managed effectively through secure virtual meetings and organized document exchange, allowing clients throughout the state to access experienced legal guidance.

Estate Planning That Provides Clarity

An effective estate plan does more than distribute assets. It provides clear instructions that reduce uncertainty and help loved ones understand your wishes.


Depending on your needs, an estate plan may include:

A will directing how property is distributed

A revocable trust to manage assets during life and after death

A durable power of attorney for financial matters

A designation of health care surrogate for medical decisions

A living will outlining healthcare preferences

We take time to understand your situation and explain how these documents work together under Florida law.

Florida Probate & Estate Planning FAQs

The timeline varies due to many factors, including but not limited to, the type of administration and the complexity of the estate. During consultation, we provide a clearer estimate based on your circumstances.

Probate is not always required in Florida—it’s only needed when assets are owned solely in the deceased person’s name without a beneficiary or joint owner. Assets with built-in transfers (like joint ownership, named beneficiaries, or trusts) typically avoid probate. For smaller estates, Florida may allow simplified processes instead of full probate.
