Probate is a court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the assets of a deceased person. There are two types of probate administration under Florida law: formal administration and summary administration.

Probate assets include, but are not limited to, the following:

A bank or investment account in the sole name of a decedent.
A life insurance policy, annuity, or individual retirement account payable to the decedent’s estate.
Real estate titled in the sole name of the decedent, or in the name of the decedent and another person as tenants in common, is a probate asset.

If the decedent did not have a will, probate may be necessary to determine entitlement to the decedent’s probate assets and pass them on to the decedent’s beneficiaries. Probate may also be necessary to complete the decedent’s financial affairs after his or her death. Administration of the decedent’s estate ensures that the decedent’s creditors are paid if certain procedures are correctly followed.
