Understanding Jacksonville Probate
Probate is the court-supervised legal process of validating a deceased person's will and distributing their assets to their beneficiaries. In Florida, this process can involve various steps, including:
Identifying and Valuing Assets:
Determining the value of the deceased's property, including real estate, bank accounts, and investments.
Paying Debts and Taxes:
Settling any outstanding financial obligations of the estate.
Distributing Assets:
Transferring the remaining assets to the rightful beneficiaries according to the will or Florida law.
Navigating these steps can be overwhelming, particularly during a time of grief. A qualified Jacksonville Probate Lawyer can provide invaluable assistance, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and protecting your interests.
About Jacksonville Probate
Jacksonville, like the rest of Florida, adheres to specific probate laws and procedures. Understanding these regulations is crucial for a successful estate administration. Some key aspects of Jacksonville probate include:
- Summary Administration: A simplified probate process for estates with limited assets.
- Formal Administration: A more comprehensive probate process required for larger or more complex estates.
- Ancillary Administration: Handling probate for out-of-state residents who owned property in Florida.
- Dealing with Intestacy: When a person dies without a will, Florida's intestacy laws determine how assets are distributed.
- Resolving Disputes: Addressing any disagreements among beneficiaries or creditors.
The complexities of these processes highlight the importance of having a knowledgeable
Jacksonville Probate Lawyer by your side.

I highly recommend Attorney Sibley. First of all, not knowing much about the process of estate planning she took the time to educate us. She was always there to answer our questions and walk us through the process. If you are looking for an attorney to help you with your estate planning I highly recommend you give Dedra Sibley at Sibley Law a call you won't be disappointed.
Cecilia Stinson
Attorney Sibley worked diligently with my mother on a lady bird deed. She took the time needed to educate us about the process of estate planning, something we weren't familiar with. She was patient, understanding, highly professional, and went above and beyond to support my mom on a not so easy journey. I am so grateful she was recommended to me and would without a doubt refer her to others. Because of my experience with my mom, my husband and I have also decided to obtain a trust to plan for our family. Thank you for all that you've done.
Alyscia Cunningham
I must share the HUGE benefit I have experienced from being referred to, and selecting, Attorney Dedra Sibley by our financial adviser. I am taking care of personal business for my mother -- Mom does not use a computer, however, Mom & I are 110% satisfied with the professional approach and attention to detail of Attorney Sibley and her staff have dedicated to updating Mom's estate plan prepared by another firm, which has recently closed. Mom and I both are most satisfied with EVERYTHING that Ms. Sibley has accomplished in addressing our needs. And to top all of Ms. Sibley's professionalism, she has been a very cost effective solution to our needs. So, call Dedra Sibley's office now!
