What Is Probate in Florida?
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate — validating the will, paying debts, and distributing assets to heirs. In Florida, most estates with assets titled solely in the decedent’s name must go through probate. The process can take months or even years without proper legal guidance.
Attorney Montilla helps clients navigate both formal administration and summary administration (for smaller estates under $75,000), ensuring the process moves as quickly and smoothly as possible.
