Each state in the United States of America has a different legal system and therefore have a different probate law. The property system is designed to handle and distribute abandoned property fairly. Disputes and disputes over property will inevitably happen if someone dies. A solid property law guarantees the equitable distribution of assets and assets to people who deserve it. These laws are designed differently for different states. The Florida legal laws are found in Chapters 731 through 735 of the Florida Statutes.


There are different conditions and circumstances that lead to the distribution of the property of the deceased. It depends to a large extent on the will of the deceased. If there is no will, the process is different. Florida residents can choose the method and the way their property is distributed after death. This happens with the last will. In order to make a testimony of Florida probate laws, the resident must have a healthy mind and be at least 18 years of age. The will must be in writing and must be certified by two (two) competent persons together with a testator. Floridians can use their will to name the beneficiaries and also the person who oversees the property if the testator dies.



If the resident dies without writing a will, the property will be redistributed. In this case, it is known as a dying bowel. As in all other states, there are different laws in Florida that predict how to distribute wealth among family members or those who deserve it. According to the Florida Probate Law, if the couple has no children or surviving descendants, all of their property is passed on to the spouse of the deceased due to the death of a person. However, if there are surviving children, the first $ 60,000 plus half of the entire inheritance is transferred to the spouse, and the rest of the property is divided equally among the surviving children.


For the estate process, the will after the person's death is admitted to the Florida Inheritance Court. A person is appointed by the Florida State Court to supervise the estate. This person guarantees that the terms of the will are fulfilled or that the property is delivered according to the Florida probate Laws. The court only has a minor role and gives the administrator the power to make an inventory and dispose of all the assets. In subsequent conflicts, the court intervenes.
