Florida probate administration

One questionnaire. The whole probate roadmap.

Tell us about the estate once. The assessment maps the administration paths Florida law provides and shows which conditions your answers meet, assembles the court-ready document set, computes the per-creditor deadline lattice, and flags what an opposing party would attack — ready for you or your attorney to file, with optional licensed-Florida-attorney review.

Fla. Prob. R. 5.030: in a formal administration, the personal representative must generally be represented by a Florida-licensed attorney (unless the personal representative is the sole interested person). These materials prepare that process — plan for an attorney of record before a formal administration is filed.
