What Is Uncontested Probate?

Uncontested probate refers to the administration of a decedent’s estate when:

• There is a valid Last Will and Testament or your loved one passed away without creating a Last Will and Testament
• Beneficiaries and heirs agree on distributions
• No will contests, creditor disputes, or complex litigation arise

In these cases, Florida’s probate system allows for streamlined administration — but only with experienced legal support to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and timelines.
