Navigating Probate With A Florida Probate Attorney
Losing a loved one is never easy, and getting through the probate process can be overwhelming, especially when you’re still grieving. Every state has its own unique probate laws, which can be confusing, especially if you’re not familiar with the process.
At Remley Law, S.C., our team of lawyers has over 200 years of combined legal experience. Founded in Wisconsin in 1962, we are dedicated to providing customized and professional estate planning and probate services to clients in Florida and for those who live out of state and must probate property in Florida.
How Is Probate In Florida Different From Other States?
Probate laws vary from state to state, and one key factor in Florida is the state has a more formal probate process than many others. This means that the court plays a more active role in overseeing the administration of the estate. Additionally, Florida has a unique set of laws governing homestead property, which can impact how property is distributed. Our attorneys are well-versed in Florida’s probate laws and can guide you through the process.
What Happens In Probate Court When Florida Property Is Owned By Someone Out Of State?
If the decedent lived outside of the state but owned real estate in Florida, their estate may need to go through ancillary probate in Florida. This process handles the transfer of the Florida property according to Florida law. Our firm can assist out-of-state personal representatives with these ancillary probate proceedings.
How Can A Florida Probate Attorney Simplify The Process?

- Identifying and gathering necessary documents and assets
