Formal Administration

• Probate is necessary to pass ownership of the decedent’s probate assets to the decedent’s beneficiaries.
• If the decedent left a valid will, unless the will is admitted to probate in the court, it will be ineffective to pass ownership of probate assets to the decedent’s beneficiaries.
• If the decedent had no will, probate is necessary to pass ownership of the decedent’s probate assets to those who are to receive them under Florida law.
• Probate is also necessary to wind up the decedent’s financial affairs. (Administration of the decedent’s estate ensures that the decedent’s creditors are paid if certain procedures are correctly followed.)
