We believe that once you read this guide, you will understand the process and of what your Florida Probate Lawyer is doing. A Florida Probate Administration is the process in which a decedent’s assets are distributed to their heirs or beneficiaries. Probate is a court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the decedent’s assets; paying taxes, claims, and expenses of administration; and distributing assets to the beneficiaries. The Florida Probate Code is found in Chapters 731 through 735 of the Florida Statutes. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/ Florida has some unique rights and protections that are afforded to a homestead property. The Florida Constitution protects one’s homestead from creditors and is among the strongest homestead protections in the country. If the homestead is not dealt with properly, it can lose these protections and become subject to the claims of creditors. Florida courts require that an attorney be involved with a probate administration to help with proper filings and smooth administration of the decedent’s assets. Because the court cannot give legal advice, it’s important to understand that in most cases in Florida the personal representative must be represented by an attorney to administer the estate in the probate court, Florida Probate Handbook, Estate Planning, Elder Law, Asset Protection, 2019
