What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process that happens after someone passes away. It involves verifying their will (if they have one), paying any debts they owe, and distributing their assets according to the will or, if there's no will, according to Florida’s laws. While this sounds straightforward, the probate process can be time-consuming, complex, and overwhelming for those left behind.

Think of probate as the court’s way of making sure everything is handled correctly and fairly—ensuring that all debts are paid, and the remaining assets are distributed to the right people. But it’s not just about following the legal steps; it's about making sure that your loved one’s final wishes are honored and that their estate is handled with respect and care.
