Common Questions
What if my Mom or Dad died and they did not have a Will?
If there is No Will, the Estate will be governed by Florida’s Intestate Rules.
Is it possible for a Will to avoid Probate?
No. Any Will has to go through Probate in order to get assets transferred from the Decedent’s name to the name of the person inheriting the property. However, there are different types of Probate proceedings that can be used depending on the type of property being transferred and the overall value of the Estate. Contact, Sharon at (352) 490-5656 to discuss what type of Probate proceeding best addresses your needs.
What if Mom or Dad are not residents of Florida but own property in Florida when they died?
When a non-resident of Florida owns property in Florida and passes away, the Property has to be probated in Florida. The probate action has to be brought in the county or judicial circuit where the property is located. This type of Probate proceedings is called an Ancillary Probate Administration.
