What Happens If You Die Without a Will in Florida?
Dying without a valid will leave your loved ones facing Florida’s intestate succession law—a process that puts the state in control of your estate. This means Florida courts will decide how your assets are divided and who inherits what.
It also opens the door to unnecessary delays, legal costs, and even disputes among family members. For many, this situation can be frustrating and disheartening.
At MTM Law Firm, we understand the complexities of intestate succession in Florida and why it’s crucial to have a plan in place. With our experienced legal team by your side, you can prevent these outcomes and ensure that your wishes are honored, not left to chance.
How Florida Intestate Succession Works
If you pass away without a will, Florida’s intestate succession law dictates who will inherit your estate. Here’s what happens:
- Surviving Spouse and No Children: The spouse inherits 100%.
- Surviving Spouse and Children from the Marriage: The spouse inherits everything.
- Surviving Spouse and Children from a Different Relationship: The spouse inherits 50%, and the children inherit 50%.
- No Spouse or Children: The estate passes to surviving parents or, if none, to siblings.
Without a will, these decisions are out of your hands. Even your funeral arrangements and the care of your dependents could be dictated by the court, leaving family wishes unfulfilled.
As it relates to the homestead property, the circumstances change a little and this will be reflected elsewhere.
