When a loved one passes away in Brevard County or the surrounding Space Coast area, navigating the probate process can feel overwhelming. Probate administration is the legal process through which a deceased person’s assets are distributed, debts are settled, and the estate is properly closed under Florida law. At Slonim Law, our Melbourne probate attorneys guide families through this complex journey with compassion and expertise.
Probate administration involves several crucial steps, including validating the will, appointing a personal representative, identifying and valuing assets, paying creditors, and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries. In Florida, probate can take several forms – formal administration, summary administration, or disposition without administration. The complexity of your case depends on factors like estate size, asset types, and whether the deceased had a valid will.
The importance of proper probate administration cannot be overstated. Without professional legal guidance, executors risk personal liability, missed deadlines, improper asset distribution, and costly mistakes that can tie up estates in court for months or even years. Florida probate law includes specific requirements for everything from creditor notifications to tax filings, making experienced legal counsel invaluable for personal representatives.
