The Firm to Choose for Probate in Pinellas County, FL
If you’ve been put in charge of administering a loved one’s estate, you’ll need to navigate the often-tricky probate process (this is true whether they passed away with or without a will). This can be stressful, and especially so when you’re already overwhelmed by the loss of your loved one.

How Long Does Probate Usually Take in Florida?
One of the questions on your mind right now is probably how long you can expect the probate process to take. This will largely depend on whether your loved one’s estate qualifies for summary probate, which can often be completed within just one to two months. If either the estate is less than $75,000 (not including exempt assets) or your loved one has been dead for more than two years, then you’ll be able to take advantage of this streamlined process. But if neither of those are true, then you’ll have to use formal probate, which commonly takes at least six months to complete. Other factors affecting the timeline of a probate case include the presence of creditor claims and the contestation of a will.
