5.0 out of 5 stars Good advice for all Floridians, June 28, 2002

This review is from: When Someone Dies in Florida: All the Legal and Practical Things You Need to Do When Someone Near to You Dies in the State of Florida (Paperback)

This is a very good resource for helping to understand the estate administration process in Florida. Although Florida requires the hiring of an attorney to administer all but small estates, being knowledgeable in the process can make a difficult process go much smoother. This book also advises those not directly involved in the administration process, which is particularly useful as those persons may not have the direct advice of an attorney. This is a book that should be read by every single Floridian. Although the subject matter is not fun, it will effect every Floridian at least once in their lives and ignorance in this area can lead to some very costly lessons for both yourself and your loved ones.

You should be aware that since this book's publication, Florida has made some significant changes to its probate code. However, these changes do not affect the majority of this book.
