The probate I reviewed was complicated but because there was a will, the preference of the deceased was honored. Side people had tried to make claims, but the will held them off. Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 58 years. meep

They are mirrors of each, bequeathing everything to the surviving spouse... with identical clauses doing our wishes, if there is no surviving spouse.

Probate requires attorneys, court costs and other junk. I've done 3 different probates in Florida in the last 7+ years. In Florida, some assets move automatically (bypassing probate), some do not. A good lawyer can help you set up your accounts to avoid probate (usually involving a personal trust) and the will is the easy part.
