Probate services
For smaller, simpler estates
Florida has a shorter form of probate for smaller estates, and a longer one for everything else. This is the intake for the shorter path: the decedent's details, the will, what the estate holds, who inherits, and who will act for it.
The shorter probate intake, for estates likely to qualify for Florida's summary administration.

Not sure this is the one? Find my plan — a few questions, about a minute.
Generally, when most of these are true.
Answer the questions online and upload what you have — the will, a death certificate, a list of assets. A Florida attorney's office reviews the submission, confirms the estate fits the shorter path, and handles the filing. If it turns out to need formal administration, you are told before anything is filed.
If none of these quite fit, that is worth a conversation rather than a guess.
More general questions live on the questions page.
You are told before anything is filed, and the intake carries over to the full form — nothing is re-entered.
Florida requires the original will to be deposited with the court. Upload a copy for the intake and keep the original safe; the attorney's office will tell you where it goes.
