Mandatory Attorney: Per Florida law, almost every Personal Representative (Executor) must be represented by a licensed attorney for formal probate administrations.
Deposit of Will: You must deposit the original Will with the Clerk of Court within 10 days of learning of the decedent’s death.
Summary Administration ($75,000 threshold): A simplified, faster probate process is available if the estate’s total value (excluding exempt property like the primary home) is $75,000 or less, or if the decedent has been deceased for more than two years.
Homestead Property: If the inherited house was the decedent’s primary residence, it often qualifies as “Protected Homestead,” shielding it from certain creditors while requiring a specific court petition to legally transfer the title to heirs.
