Probate is the legal process by which a person’s assets are distributed after death. It’s the handling of a deceased’s assets and the distribution of his/her estate.

Whether a loved on passes away testate; meaning having made a valid will before one passes away or intestate, without a written last will, determines how the estate is distributed. Distribution under Intestacy is determined by Florida’s Intestate Succession Law.

It’s important to hire legal representation if you are looking to contest a will or distribution of inheritance, when there are competing claims on the part of creditors, or when the complexities and frustrations of probate become simply too much.
