Probate
Probate is a court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the assets of a deceased person (decedent), paying the decedent’s debts and distributing the decedent’s assets (including home) to his or her beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the will. In general, the decedent’s assets are used first to pay the cost of the probate proceeding, then are used to pay the decedent’s funeral expenses, then the decedent’s outstanding debts, and the remainder is distributed to the decedent’s beneficiaries. There are two types of probate administration under Florida law: formal administration and summary administration. There is also a non-court-supervised administration proceeding called “Disposition of Personal Property Without Administration.” If you have not hired an attorney to handle Probate, we can pay our recommended Probate Attorney to handle all the paperwork involved for you and handle the legal aspects for you. This will save you time, money and headaches and allow you to sell the home much quicker.
Cash Home Buyer Florida has purchased many properties that have gone thru the probate process. It’s possible that we may even be able to buy the property before the probate process is completed. Additionally, our attorney may be able to handle the probate and buy the home even if there was no will.
