Owning Florida property doesn't mean you have to live here — but it can mean your estate needs a Florida probate case too. The Elliot Legal Group handles ancillary probate so out-of-state families can transfer Florida assets without unnecessary delay.

It's a secondary probate proceeding in Florida for a nonresident decedent who owned property in the state.
Usually, yes — the primary estate is probated where the decedent lived, and Florida assets go through ancillary probate here.
Sometimes, through proper estate planning — but once someone has passed, it's usually required to transfer Florida property.
The first call is a 20-minute Initial Case Assessment with Jenny Elliot, who is not an attorney. The call addresses the nature of the matter, party information for conflict checks, firm fit, and scheduling. The attorney handles legal advice and determines whether the firm can accept the matter.
The team can arrange an attorney consultation by phone, video or in person, subject to availability. The Initial Case Assessment is non-attorney intake; it does not include legal advice or document review. Ask the team to confirm the consultation fee, scope and payment arrangements before booking.
Whether you have a legal question, need to schedule a consultation, or want to learn more about how we can help, we respond quickly and clearly.
Nothing on this form creates an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential information until an engagement is signed.
