Understanding the Probate Court Process in Florida

Probate is the court-supervised process of identifying a deceased person’s assets, paying their debts and taxes, and distributing the remainder to heirs or beneficiaries. In Florida, probate is required in most cases where the deceased owned property in their individual name. The process includes filing the will (if one exists), notifying interested parties, appointing a personal representative, and submitting an inventory of the estate. Creditors must be notified and given time to make claims, and once debts are paid, assets can be distributed. We manage every aspect of this process for our clients—keeping paperwork on track and providing updates so you always know where your case stands.

Legal Representation for Executors and Personal Representatives

If you’ve been appointed as the executor (personal representative) of an estate, you carry legal responsibilities and risk. Florida law requires personal representatives to act in good faith, keep accurate records, and ensure all steps are properly completed. At Perez-Roura Law, we help you meet those obligations with confidence. We prepare court filings, respond to notices, manage asset transfers, and protect you from liability. Whether you’re local or out-of-state, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on honoring your loved one’s legacy. We also represent co-personal representatives and provide neutral guidance in family-led estate matters.

Will Filing, Validation, and Notices

When a person dies with a will, the document must be submitted to probate court and validated to be enforced. We assist clients with locating the will, ensuring it meets Florida legal standards, and preparing all necessary court filings. If no will exists, we guide the estate through **intestate succession**, where assets are distributed according to Florida statute. We also handle formal and summary administration, depending on the estate’s size and complexity. Our goal is to complete probate as efficiently and accurately as possible while minimizing the potential for disputes.

Heir and Beneficiary Advocacy

Probate court isn’t just for executors—it’s also where heirs and beneficiaries assert their rights. If you’ve been named in a will, are entitled to inheritance by law, or have questions about how an estate is being handled, Perez-Roura Law represents your interests. We investigate irregularities, demand transparency from fiduciaries, and challenge improper conduct when necessary. Our Miami firm ensures that rightful heirs receive their share, that the estate is distributed fairly, and that any wrongdoing is addressed through the proper legal channels.

Resolving Probate Disputes and Court Litigation

Probate court often becomes the arena for disputes over wills, trusts, or fiduciary actions. These conflicts can delay the process and cause emotional strain within families. We help clients navigate will contests, challenges to executor conduct, disputes among beneficiaries, and disagreements over asset valuation or distribution. Our firm works to resolve issues outside of court whenever possible, but we are fully prepared to represent clients in Miami probate court when litigation becomes necessary. With strong legal strategy and a focus on protecting your rights, we pursue resolution that is both lawful and just.
