Florida Probate Full Administration
Jacksonville Probate Administration
Florida Full Administration Probates are common for larger estates that have not removed most assets from their estate prior to the death of an individual. The Apple Law Firm PLLC handles cases of Full Administration Probate in Jacksonville, Duval County, St. Johns County, and Clay County. We can also help with these cases in other areas of Florida.
When an individual died less than 2 years ago and their assets subject to probate are in excess of $75,000 a Full Administration must be used to distribute their assets and pay their claims. When calculating the assets subject to probate, its important to remember the life insurance, stock accounts, retirement accounts, bank accounts and one's primary home are not usually subject to probate.
Often an individual's primary asset was their home. When this is a homestead, it passes directly to their heirs as proscribed by the Florida Constitution. One problem with this is that even though title to the home will pass, it is not considered Marketable Title. Marketable Title is one that is free from the threats of litigation. Because of this, most title companies will require a determination of the homestead status on the house. Once this is done, the deed to the home can be cleared up and the property will be able to be sold.
The Apple Law Firm works with clients all over the world to clear title to homes through a Florida Probate Administrations.
It is not uncommon for a Full Administration to take more an six months to complete. In some cases the process can take more than a year. To determine how much your probate should cost and begin to gather and organize the information necessary for the Florida Probate, please take a few moments and request our Florida Probate Intake Form.
