Florida is a very well established vacation locale. Many people own property in Florida without being residents of the state. Because of its year round warmth, Florida has part-time residents that we colloquially refer to as “snowbirds”. Furthermore, many people that move to Florida may continue to own property in the state where they are originally from.
For individuals that own property in multiple states, multiple probate administrations must be completed. In the state where the decedent lived, a “domiciliary” probate case will be filed. Next, an “ancillary” probate case is filed in the state where they owned property but were not a resident. Lawyers in each state will coordinate with each other to ensure that all of the decedent’s property is accounted for and legally transferred to their beneficiaries or heirs.
Ancillary probate administrations are common in Florida, and are governed by Florida Statute section 734.102.
