Probate · By County
Florida Probate,
by County.
Probate is opened in the county where the person lived, and each county runs its own court, clerk, and calendar. Start with yours.
The Kogan Firm handles probate across the three South Florida counties it serves. The process and the statutes are the same statewide, but where you file, which judges hear the matter, and how the local clerk operates all depend on the county. Pick the county where your loved one lived:
