How to find probate properties yourself
Probate cases are filed with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the person lived. Most clerks have an online court records search where you can look up probate cases by filing date. The file names the personal representative, the person handling the estate.
To find the house, search the decedent's name on the county property appraiser's site. Our guide to finding probate properties in Florida walks through each step, including what summary and formal administration mean for a sale.
