In Florida when a someone dies family members will need to compile a list of important information to deal with the estate. These documents will include what the deceased person owned, a list of their creditors and the amount of money owed at the time of death. To help get you started, here is a list of documents that need to be located:
- Account statements
- Life insurance policies
- Beneficiary designations
- Deeds for real estate
- Automobile and boat titles
- Stock and bond certificates
- Business documents
In addition you may want to request our Free Florida Probate Hanbook to help you understand the process. When you request the handbook, be sure to ask any specific questions you may have.
