My name is Phil Rarick. I am a Miami probate attorney with Rarick & Beskin. Probate is the legal process for transferring assets owned by the decedent according to the decedent’s will or Florida intestate law to his or her beneficiaries after all legitimate creditors of the estate have been paid. Be warned: Florida probate is a bureaucratic, time consuming and expensive process. You can best navigate this process by using an experienced probate attorney that concentrates in this field of law. An attorney not experienced in Florida probate is likely to cost more and take more time. The two most common types of probate administration are Summary Administration and Formal Administration. Summary Administration is the Fast Track process. However it can only be used for estates valued at $75,000 or less, or if the decedent has been deceased for over two years. Formal Administration is typically required for all estates where summary administration is not available. A formal administration can easily take 9 months or more. If you are named the personal representative or executor in a will, we have prepared a helpful guide called the Florida Probate Quick Reference Guide. It can be obtained by calling me at (305) 556-5209. Loss of a loved one is a difficult time for family and friends. We have helped guide many families through these times. We can help you prioritize your tasks, organize the estate, and keep you in compliance with our complex Florida probate laws. We will discuss attorney fees and how you can help minimize such fees. As a Miami probate attorney, I would be happy to assist you.
