Someone, usually your executor or a family member, files your will (if you had one). In Florida, they have 10 days from the date they are notified that you have died to file your will. The court validates your will. The court appoints a personal representative, or executor, to oversee your estate.
The original Will must be deposited with the clerk of the Court having the venue of the decedent's estate within 10 days of the decedent's death. The custodian of the Will must also provide the clerk with the date of the testator's death or the last four digits of the testator's social security number.
After death, the personal representative named in the decedent's Will (or the executor) must file or register the Will with the court. An estate attorney can also file the Will on behalf of the personal representative. However, the Will filed with the Court must be the original.
