Make a Florida probate starting checklist
Probate is court-supervised. This page helps you sort facts before talking to the clerk, lawyer, or family.
Checklist
- List the county where the person lived, date of death, and whether there is a will.
- Separate probate assets from non-probate assets such as beneficiaries or joint ownership.
- Collect account statements, deeds, vehicle titles, debts, funeral costs, and contact information.
- Flag conflicts, minor heirs, real estate, or unknown creditors as attorney-review issues.
- Use the tool to create an asset inventory and question list.

Common questions
Does this replace a probate lawyer?
No. Probate can create fiduciary duties and deadlines. Use this to prepare, not to replace counsel.
What should I do first?
Preserve documents, list assets and debts, and confirm the official county and court process.
