What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate. It involves validating a will (if one exists), paying debts, and distributing assets to heirs or beneficiaries. Probate is often necessary to ensure that the deceased’s wishes are followed and their estate is handled legally and fairly. In Florida, probate can be particularly complex, involving strict court-supervised procedures and time-sensitive requirements.
