The probate process is used to identify and gather a deceased person’s assets, settle his or her debts, and distribute assets to beneficiaries. Under Florida law, there are two types of probate administration : formal administration and summary administration. Assets that will be subject to probate include tangible property such as bank accounts, investment accounts, and real estate titled in the name of the Decedent. Without proper planning, life insurance policies and individual retirement accounts may inadvertently be part of the probate Estate. A decedent’s assets are used first to pay for probate proceeding costs, followed by funeral expenses and outstanding debts, and finally, the remainder is distributed to Beneficiaries.
