Southern Probate was established by our firm as a legal service dedicated exclusively to probate administration. Southern Probate provides legal representation to personal representatives throughout Florida in all 67 counties. Probate is a court-supervised process for defining and gathering the assets of a deceased person (decedent). If the decedent had a Last Will and Testament it is filed with the Clerk. The decedent’s debts will be identified and paid, and the remaining assets will be distributed to the decedent’s beneficiaries. This process is necessary to allow the court-supervised re-titling of certain assets, payment to the decedent’s creditors, the wrapping up of financial affairs, and to protect against fraud and abuse. All estates in Florida require formal administration unless they fall into one of three exceptions. We understand that losing a loved one is especially difficult. Your case will be handled with individualized attention and compassion throughout the legal process.
