How probate works in Volusia County
Every probate situation in Volusia County follows Florida law. These are the stages and the local offices involved.
Open probate
A petition is filed in the probate division of the Volusia County Circuit Court (7th Judicial Circuit). The court decides between summary administration and formal administration.
Summary or formal
Summary administration is available if the estate subject to administration (less exempt property) is $75,000 or less, or the person died more than two years ago (s. 735.201).
Personal representative
In formal administration the court issues Letters of Administration naming the personal representative, who can then act for the estate.
Creditor period
Notice to creditors is published; most claims must be filed within 3 months of first publication (s. 733.702).
Sell the house
If the will grants a power of sale, the personal representative can usually sell; otherwise the court may need to approve it. Protected homestead follows special rules.
