Probate in Florida

What happens after a loved one passes away?

Probate in Florida can involve court filings, notices to interested persons, creditor deadlines, estate administration, and final asset distribution. Families often need help understanding which process applies before they can move forward.

Many Broward County families are trying to determine whether the estate requires formal administration, may qualify for summary administration, or involves another probate-related next step. A Broward County probate attorney can help organize the facts before filings begin.

Summary Administration

A shorter process may be available.

Florida has two main types of probate administration: formal administration and summary administration. Summary administration may be available when the estate's non-exempt assets do not exceed $75,000, or when at least two years have passed since the date of death.

That does not mean every estate qualifies. The will, asset titles, family facts, creditor issues, and court requirements still need to be reviewed carefully.
