Probate
Probate is a court process that involves identifying, gathering, and distributing assets titled in the decedent’s name alone and addressing any liabilities after you die. Even with a valid will, probate may still be necessary to pass ownership of probate assets to your beneficiaries. If you do not have a will, your assets will pass in accordance with the Florida statutes on intestate distribution.
Probate can be a challenging, confusing, and lengthy process, and can compound the grief that family members are dealing with after the loss of a loved one. At the Estate, Trust & Elder Law Firm, P.L., we help Treasure Coast families through every step of the probate process, providing legal representation that can bring clarity and finality to the issues involved in resolving a loved one’s affairs.
