What Would Probate Cost Your Family?

Florida sets presumptively reasonable attorney fees for probate by statute, and the personal representative is entitled to a statutory fee as well. Answer a few questions about how your assets are titled and see the realistic cost and timeline, then see what a funded revocable trust avoids.

Your Estate, As Titled Today

Only assets in your sole name without a beneficiary designation go through probate. Joint accounts, POD/TOD accounts, retirement accounts and life insurance with living beneficiaries, and trust-owned assets pass outside it.

Estimated timeline—

Attorney fees use Florida's presumptively reasonable statutory schedule (Fla. Stat. §733.6171), computed on the compensable estate excluding protected homestead; homestead still requires a court proceeding to confirm its protected status, reflected in costs. Personal representative fee uses the §733.617 schedule. Figures are educational estimates only, not a quote and not legal advice; litigation, creditor disputes, and tax work are additional. No attorney-client relationship is created by using this tool.
