Estate size plays a major role in determining which kind of court administration is required after someone passes away. In FL, estates worth $75,000 or more, where the decedent died within the last two years, must go through formal probate proceedings, but there's a lot that goes into this calculation.
Florida generally has two different types of probate - one is easy, one is much more complicated - and probate can take 5-8 months under most scenarios. Some estates won't need to go through formal probate at all. If a deceased person had no assets in their own, individual name, then no probate is required.
Formal administration is required for any estate with non-exempt assets valued at over $75,000 when a decedent died less than two years ago. Formal administration is also required any time that a personal representative is needed to settle the affairs of the decedent.
One of the most common ways of avoiding probate is to establish a living trust. Any assets you own, whether real estate, bank accounts, cars, or personal items, can be put into a living trust.
Furniture and Appliances 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.
You can live in a house during the probate process, but it can be complicated. Ensuring the property is maintained, managing any potential conflicts among heirs and working closely with a knowledgeable attorney can make a significant difference.
You do not have to be an attorney to prepare a Florida quitclaim deed. Absent attorney fees, your costs would only be the recording fees that the county comptroller charges and transfer fees if the property is mortgaged.
The Notice of Commencement shall be recorded in the office of the Clerk where the real property is located.
You can fill that out, have your signature notarized, and take it to the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is located to have it recorded. But a much safer alternative would be to consult with an attorney to properly draft the quit claim deed.
