Florida Probate By County
Florida Probate Jurisdiction Overview (2026)
Florida Probate Law Group provides statewide representation across all 67 Florida counties. Florida probate cases are filed in the Circuit Court of the county where the decedent resided if the decedent was a Florida resident. For non-residents, we file in the jurisdiction where Florida assets are located.
While Florida Statutes (Chapters 731–735) are uniform, local Administrative Orders in counties like Miami-Dade, Broward, and Orange often dictate specific jurisdictional requirements, unique checklist requirements, and virtual hearing protocols.
The directory below has up to date contact information for clerks, judges, judicial assistants, as well as courthouse locations and county specific probate information. Click the county name to learn more about probate in each county:
