FAQs / COVID-19 / Am I Expected to Appear in Court During COVID-19 Social Distancing?

Am I Expected to Appear in Court During COVID-19 Social Distancing?

Clients are not expected to participate in any court hearings during a standard probate administration in Florida. Everything is done electronically with the probate court.

  • Pleadings are emailed to the client, the client prints the documents and executes them, some of the documents need to be signed in front of a notary.
  • The executed pleadings are emailed or faxed back to the attorney’s office.
  • The attorney will e-file the pleadings with the court, and mail in the necessary originals such as the death certificate.
  • Any hearings before the judge will be handled by the attorney, and under most circumstances, the client is not expected to participate in any hearings.
