📢Important Changes to Florida Probate Law Took Effect on July 1, 2026

Florida has made some of the most significant updates to its probate laws in years, with the goal of making estate administration more efficient for many families.

While these changes are welcome news, they do not eliminate the need for proper estate planning. A well-prepared estate plan can still help your loved ones avoid unnecessary costs, delays, and stress.

If you have questions about how these new laws may affect your estate plan - or whether it's time to update your documents - we're here to help.

📞 Contact Stearns, Williams & Doddridge to schedule a consultation and ensure your estate plan reflects Florida's latest laws.
