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:

I was very happy with her response to my questions and concerns about Florida probate. I am in Ohio and was not familiar with the process but they cleared everything up for me and made me feel comfortable going through the probate process with my loved ones will.

Honest and straight forward assessment of complex case. My case span both federal and state issues, as well as civil case of fraud which maybe criminal fraud.

S. Todd

The world of probate can be fairly daunting for one who has little to no experience. Between trying to figure out what to file and when to file, there is also the where. I was quite relieved to have Nadine and Cary to guide me through the court process.

Michael O.

I highly recommend using this law group for your Florida probate needs, and in particular, Charles David. He explained clearly what my 91 year old aunt would need to do in order to sell property that was in hers and her late husband's name.
