Probate is the process by which legal title of property and assets are transferred from the decedent's estate to his/her beneficiaries. The Probate process includes the courts review of all estate documents, beginning with the decedent's last will and testament. If all documents are deemed to be in order, and there are no challenges by family members, or others affected by your Will or other estate documents, 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.
