LegalDraft · Florida
Florida estate planning and probate live on EstateDraftFL.com.
Wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and the Florida probate documents are prepared on our Florida estate site, not here. This page keeps the Florida tools that stay on LegalDraft: the probate rules stated generally, the civil deadline calculator, and the court-readiness guides.
Estate planning & probate
Wills, trusts, deeds, and the other estate documents are prepared on our estate sites.
Wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, guardian and preneed designations, HIPAA releases, deeds, and prenuptial agreements are not prepared on LegalDraft. They are the estate sites’ — separate platforms from the same family, built for estate planning, deeds, and probate — and the probate documents live beside them.
The documents this covers: Last Will & Testament · Revocable Living Trust · Financial Power of Attorney (Durable) · Advance Healthcare Directive & Living Will · preneed-guardian · hipaa-release · lady-bird-deed · companion-will · pour-over-will · Guardianship Designation for Minor Children · Prenuptial Agreement · Quitclaim Deed
Separate sites from the same family of platforms, linked with attribution — LegalDraft hosts none of their data and prepares none of their documents.
Facing a Florida court matter?
Free, plain-language checklists to get organized for the most common civil matters — answering a debt lawsuit, responding to an eviction, small claims, and fee waivers — with the official forms and legal-aid referrals. Self-help information, not a filing service.
Open the court-readiness guides →Florida probate: the general rules here, the filings on EstateDraftFL.com
Every administration path with its statutory conditions, and the rules every Florida administration answers to, stated generally and cited. The probate filings themselves are prepared on EstateDraftFL.com.
Estate-planning, deed, and probate documents are prepared on EstateDraftFL.com for Florida (opens in a new tab) and EstateDraft.ai for every other state (opens in a new tab).
Plan Check — nine deterministic checks
State the facts and see how Florida's pretermitted-heir, homestead, digital-asset, fiduciary, and designation rules operate on facts like yours — statute-cited, with the facts that could change each picture. Runs in your browser; nothing is stored.

Inherited a Florida home? Homestead triage
Titling, survivors, and what the documents say decide whether the home passes outside probate and who Florida law lets it pass to — the triage describes how the rules operate, every consequence cited.
Run the triage →
Civil deadline calculator — the arithmetic shown
Rule-cited triggers (answers, discovery, summary judgment, proposals for settlement, appeals) computed with every Rule 2.514 step traced — and honest about each parameter's verification state.
Compute a date →
Trial objections — Evidence-Code cited
Twelve grounds with the phrasing, when each applies, the responses a proponent typically offers, and how the point is preserved under § 90.104 — published reference, uniform for everyone.

Twelve probate filings, assembled the deterministic way
Each filing below is a parameterized, attorney-reviewable template with statute and Probate Rule hooks — the model never authors the operative text. They assemble inside the packet flow (the engine decides the document set per administration path), not the generic drafting picker, and every one is a draft for licensed-attorney review and filing — the platform does not file.
