Probate is the process by
which legal title of property and assets are transferred
from the decedent's estate to his/her beneficiaries.
When an estate enters into probate, in the event of ones
passing, the courts will review of all estate
documents to determine if all documents are in order.
The court will provide a specific period of time to
allow challenges of the estate documents by family
members, or others directly affected by a "will" or
other estate documents. If there are no challenges, or
the specified time to contest passes,
your
estate may clear the probate process in a timely manner.
In the State of Florida, an
individual who chooses to contest a Will typically has
90 days after the Notice of
Administration has been provided by the Personal
Representative, or 20 days in the event that Formal
Notice of the probate proceeding is received before the
will has been admitted to probate.

If a will or
other estate documents do not exist, the chance that
your estate will be contested in probate litigation is
dramatically increased. Therefore, having the
appropriate estate documents in order is essential in
providing the best opportunity for a smooth and
successful probate process for your family land loved
ones.
It is important
to note that creditors may have the ability to contest
the estate during the probate process, and sometimes may
chose to wait until the estate and assets have been
transferred to your loved ones to collect debt from them
directly.
The probate
process can be extremely complicated, especially if the
last will and testament or any other estate documents
are challenged, sending the probate into litigation.
