Reducing Your Stress And Advocating For Your Family’s Legacy

Several things can happen after a person passes away. If they didn’t have a will, the state of Florida may allow some of their assets to pass through simplified probate. This process is much faster and less expensive than the traditional probate process. The decedent’s assets could also pass through regular probate if they alone owned those assets. The executor of the estate is responsible for creating an inventory of the deceased person’s assets, collecting valuations of their assets, using assets to pay debts and taxes and then finally distributing the remaining assets as the will dictates.

At the Summit Law Group, we will walk you through every step of the probate process and ensure that the proper paperwork is filed so you don’t have to worry about the consequences of a mistake.
