Five paths through Florida probate. We know which one you're on.

Most Florida estates resolve through one of five named paths. The path depends on the size of the estate, whether there was a will, and where the person lived. Pick the closest match below — or skip the search and tell us your situation.

— At-a-glance

Compare the five paths side by side.

Most cases fit one of these. Run the eyebrow line, the threshold, and the price across the row — that usually narrows it to one or two paths. We'll confirm on the consult.
