— Local notes

Probate in Flagler County, as we see it.

Flagler is a fast-growing retiree-driven county. 24.5% of residents are 65+; median age 52.6 — the highest in the region. Probate volume has risen rapidly with the population. Probate filings go to the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center in Bunnell under the 7th Judicial Circuit.

Palm Coast's ITT-developed grid is a real Flagler-specific quirk. Thousands of platted lots from the 1970s land sales — many sold sight-unseen to out-of-state buyers — show up in current estates as unimproved Palm Coast lots with unclear heir intentions. We've worked enough of these to know the playbook.

Hurricane-affected coastal property (A1A and Flagler Beach erosion from Matthew 2016, Ian 2022, Nicole 2022) creates ongoing title and insurance issues for inherited oceanfront homes. Bunnell's massive 2005–07 annexation brought large rural parcels inside city limits with potentially different homestead/agricultural classification implications.
