Important Florida Probate Facts to Know

Florida law has unique requirements that executors and heirs must follow for a property in St. Johns County.

Attorney Requirement: Per Florida Probate Rules, almost every Personal Representative is required to be represented by an attorney admitted to the Florida Bar.
Summary Administration ($75,000 threshold): If the total value of the estate (excluding exempt property like the home) is $75,000 or less, or if the decedent has been deceased for more than two years, you may qualify for a simplified, faster process.
The “Homestead” Protection: If the property was the deceased person’s primary residence, it may be classified as “Protected Homestead,” shielding it from certain creditor claims, though it requires a specific petition to the court.
Letters of Administration: Once the court appoints you, you will receive “Letters of Administration,” which grant you the legal authority to manage and sell the estate’s real estate.
