What is probate?

The Pasco County Probate Court websites describes the Probate and Estate process as follows: Whenever a deceased person leaves titled assets in his/her name alone, a petition for probate may be filed that allows distribution of the decedent’s assets. The Court oversees the estate to make sure debts are paid and proper distribution is made. Depending on your case type, you may need to contact an attorney to discuss your situation and what type of action should be filed, if necessary.

As in all probate proceedings, a hearing may be required when estate cases are presented to the Court for consideration of all orders.
