How long does probate take? The answer varies depending on many factors such as the size and complexity of the estate, court backlog, creditor claims, disputes among beneficiaries, and more. In Florida, there is no set time limit for completing probate; however, it typically takes several months to a year or more. During this time, the personal representative appointed by the court must gather all the assets of the deceased person, pay off any debts and taxes owed by the estate, and distribute what remains to their beneficiaries or heirs. Why might it take a few months? One reason for delay is that creditors have up to two years to file a claim against an estate. Therefore, it is essential to give them notice of the probate proceedings so they can make their claims within the specified time frame. Another factor that could prolong probate is if there are disputes among family members regarding asset distribution or other issues related to the estate. How can an attorney help? An experienced probate attorney can guide you through each step of this complex legal process and ensure that your rights and interests are protected. They can help with drafting a will or trust that reflects your wishes and minimizes potential conflicts among your beneficiaries. They can also assist with filing court documents accurately and timely while ensuring compliance with Florida laws governing probate proceedings.

FAQs

Can I add to or withdraw assets from my trust after it has been created?

Yes. New property and accounts can and should be added, and existing assets can be sold at any time. Your attorney should give you complete instructions on how to do so.

Will transferring assets to my Revocable Living Trust shield or exempt them from creditors?

No. In Florida, public policy prevents avoidance of creditors through the use of a trust which you created for your own benefit. However, if another person, such as your spouse, created the trust for your benefit, the assets might be exempt from creditors if the trust was drawn accordingly. There are also other available steps to shield against creditors with which we can assist clients.

Is the Revocable Living Trust appropriate for everyone?

No. While Revocable Living Trusts are beneficial for the great majority of people, they are not for everyone. Establishment of a Revocable Living Trust should be decided upon only after analyzing your specific circumstances with your attorney. Before proceeding with a Living Trust, discuss your particular situation openly with a qualified attorney.

Do I have to attend Closing in Person?

You may, but it is not required. The days of both parties sitting down at the closing table together still exist but are now more the exception than the rule. Buyers obtaining a mortgage loan typically sit with the attorney to go through and sign the papers comprising a voluminous loan package. Cash buyers and sellers can easily pre-sign the documents, wire transfer the funds and skip the traditional, ceremonial closing. For out-of-town parties, we often over-night documents to them with signing instructions.

What is Title Insurance and Why do I need it?

Hidden defects in the title sometimes exist and are undetected no matter how thorough an exam is done. Title insurance protects you against problems such as disputed ownership and unknown mortgages or liens. The Title Insurer will pay the legal expenses to defend your title and settle any claims. This is so critical that every mortgage lender insists that they are provided with title insurance before they close a loan. No prudent buyer, in a cash or financed deal, will purchase property without it.
