If an asset does not have a named beneficiary or rights of survivorship, it will have to go through probate to change ownership pursuant to the Florida Probate Rules (2024). The most common assets that go through this process are bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, and personal property.
Probate assets are those assets that the decedent owned in his or her sole name at death, or that were owned by the decedent and one or more co-owners and lacked a provision for automatic succession of ownership at death.
Assets exempt from probate in Florida also include household furniture, belongings and assets in the deceased's primary residence that are valued up to $20,000.
Disposition of Personal Property Without Administration is a streamlined process to simplify the handling of a deceased person's estate when the value of their assets falls below a certain threshold. It allows bypassing the court supervision of probate.
Each TPP tax return is eligible for an exemption up to $25,000 of assessed value. If the property appraiser has determined that the property has separate and distinct owners and each files a return, each may receive a $25,000 exemption.
Assets Subject to Probate Other assets that may be subject to probate in Florida include tangible personal property (like furniture, jewelry, horses, and collectibles), checks, or out-of-state property.
Florida Statute defines TPP as “all goods, chattels, and other articles of value (but does not include vehicular items) capable of manual possession and whose chief value is intrinsic to the article itself.”
Personal possessions should not be distributed before probate is completed, as they are part of the estate that must be inventoried and appraised. Distributing items prematurely could lead to legal disputes, especially if they are intended for specific beneficiaries.
