How To Probate And Settle An Estate In Florida
Probate is defined as the legal process by which both personal and real property in an estate is transferred to the heirs or beneficiaries of the deceased person. As a result, there are two different kinds of probates; formal administration and summary administration.
Formal administration is used when the total value of the state minus the value of exempt property from creditors, is more than $75,000 or if it has been more than two years since the decedent passed.
Summary administration is the simplified type of probate. It is defined as the estates value, less creditor claims, is less than $75,000, or if the decedent passed away more than two years prior to filing the administration.
Probates must be settled with the courts. They can either be formal or simple administrations.
