What Does Probate a Will Mean?

This book teaches you the exact process of probating a will and the time frame required for each step. Probate and Settle an Estate in Florida, 6th Edition clarifies what it means to probate a will and teaches you how probate in Florida works.

"An Overview of Probate," an excerpt from Probate and Settle an Estate in Florida, 6th Edition

"Probate is simply the legal process by which property in an estate is transferred to the heirs or beneficiaries of the deceased person (the decedent). The difference between heirs and beneficiaries is that heirs are persons who are entitled to property if the decedent died without a will, and beneficiaries are persons who are given property in a will.

The process begins by presenting to a judge a petition listing the property of the decedent and the people to whom it is proposed the property be given. If the petition is proper, all necessary people have been notified, and taxes and debts have been paid, then the judge will sign an order distributing the property.

In large estates particularly, there are often conflicting interests among family members or heirs, and the probate process can become emotional and sometimes bitter. An estate may consist of a large amount of property and potentially conflicting claims. If there are conflicting claims, it is most likely that the heir with a conflicting interest will hire an attorney to represent his or her claim. You will be best served by a knowledgeable probate attorney properly prepared to handle your interest in the estate.

When Probate is Necessary
Contrary to a popular misconception, probate may be necessary whether or not the decedent had a will. A will does not eliminate the requirement for probate; rather, it is the main instrument used in the probate process. If the decedent owned property in his or her individual name alone at the time of his or her death, probate is required.

If the decedent died without having signed a will, he or she died intestate. If the decedent died leaving a properly signed will, he or she died testate. If the decedent died intestate, then his or her property will pass to his or her heirs at law. These are the heirs listed in the Florida Statutes (Fla. Stat.) in the order in which they will inherit. If the decedent died testate, his or her property will be distributed to those individuals he or she named in his or her will. (If someone contests the validity of the will, the court may get involved in determining whether those persons named in the decedent’s will are actually entitled to receive the property.)"
