Common Questions
What if my Mom or Dad died and they did not have a Will?
If there is No Will, the Estate will be governed by Florida’s Intestate Rules.
Is it possible for a Will to avoid Probate?
No. Any Will has to go through Probate in order to get assets transferred from the Decedent’s name to the name of the person inheriting the property. However, there are different types of Probate proceedings that can be used depending on the type of property being transferred and the overall value of the Estate.
What is the difference between an heir and a beneficiary?
An heir is a person who is entitled to the property of the decedent (person who died), if the decedent died without a will. A Beneficiary is a person who is given property in a will.
What if Mom or Dad are not residents of Florida but own property in Florida when they died?
When a non-resident of Florida owns property in Florida and passes away, the Property has to be probated in Florida. The probate action has to be brought in the county or judicial circuit where the property is located. This type of Probate proceedings is called an Ancillary Probate Administration.
Does a Will prevent the need for Probate?
No, a Will does not eliminate the possible need for a Probate action. A Will is used in a probate action to establish the intentions of the decedent.
They say my Dad died “intestate”. What does that mean?
When it is said that someone died “intestate” it means that they died without a Will and his or her property will pass to heirs pursuant to Florida Law.
Do Timeshare interests need to go through Probate?
When a person dies and at the time of his or her death owns a Timeshare, that interest is considered real property and is subject to Florida Probate Laws and Rules.
A probate action would need to be brought in the county where the Timeshare is located. In order to pass the timeshare to the lawful heirs or beneficiaries, a probate action is required.
