Probate in Orange County, as we see it.
Orange has the largest probate caseload in Central Florida. The 9th Judicial Circuit's probate division at the downtown Orlando courthouse runs at scale, with mandatory e-filing through myflcourtaccess.com. The volume reflects everything from standard residential probate in Apopka/Ocoee/Winter Garden to high-end estates in Winter Park, Dr. Phillips, and Lake Nona.
Theme-park-driven workforce means a high concentration of out-of-state and foreign decedent estates with Florida real property. Heavy timeshare and vacation-rental ownership produces a steady stream of ancillary administration filings. Lake Nona Medical City growth adds significant high-value estates including practitioner-owned medical interests.
Hurricanes Ian (2022), Idalia (2023), and Helene/Milton (2024) all left their marks. Inland Orange estates near retention ponds and inland flood zones still surface insurance claims and homestead-damage issues. We work each one carefully.
