What This Report Will Tell You

Probate is the process by which the affairs, debts, claims, and expenses, of a deceased person are wound up before distributing any assets to a beneficiary. In a nutshell, Probate is an administrative process that ensures that these claims, debts and expenses, whether known or unknown, are paid before distributing assets to the heirs. That process consists of submitting the original will to the court, making publications so all creditors come forward and present their claims, gathering assets, preparing inventories and accountings, and finally distributing assets of the decedent to the heirs.

Depending on the value of the assets or the length of time a decedent has been dead, there could be a summary administration or a formal administration. Also, depending on whether an out-of-state resident-owned property in Florida, there could be an ancillary administration.
