No, not usually for probate. Unless a dispute requires a hearing, neither the personal representative nor the estate attorney will actually go to court in Florida. There is no “reading of the will” like you see in old movies. Everything can be done by mail, email, phone, and fax.
Florida law requires that virtually all estates have a probate attorney or probate law firm assist with the estate administration. Our attorneys are available to help with all probate, trust and estate matters. Please feel free to contact our office at (727) 461-1111 and let us know how we can assist you.
