Ancillary Administration

Land must be probated in the location, usually the county, where it exists. A common situation involves the death of a person who lives in a state other than Florida but whose assets include real property in Florida. The descendant’s main or domiciliary estate is usually handled where the person died. However, if there is real estate in Florida that belonged to the descendent, whether it be a house, a condominium or even raw land, that Florida real estate must go through probate in the particular Florida county in which it is located.
