Experienced Coral Gables Probate Administration Attorney

Probate is a general term for the entire process of administration of estates of dead persons, including those without wills, with court supervision. The initial step in the process is proving a will is valid and then administering the estate of a dead person according to the terms of the will. The will must be filed with the clerk of the appropriate court in the county where the deceased person lived, along with a petition to have the court approve the will and appoint the executor named in the will. If an executor is not named in the will, an administrator is appointed. A declaration of the person who had signed the will as a witness is also filed. If the court determines the will is valid, the court then “admits” the will to probate.

Even if there is a will, probate may not be necessary if the estate is worth no more than a stated dollar value or is small with no real estate title to be transferred or the estate is either jointly owned or community property. The probate process involves fees set by statute and/or the court for attorneys, executors, and administrators, the need to publish notices, court hearings, and paperwork, the public nature of the proceedings and delays while waiting for creditors to file claims, whether money was owed or not. The Coral Gables probate administration lawyers are knowledgeable in understanding the details, facts, complications, and circumstances that arise in a probate administration case.
