In Florida, probate must usually be initiated a short time after death. The will, if there is one, must be filed with the court within 10 days of the death.

The formal probate administration usually takes 6-9 months under most circumstances - start to finish. This process includes appointing a personal representative (i.e., the "executor"), a 90 days creditor's period that must run, payment of creditor's claims and more.
