Probate in Miami-Dade County, as we see it.

Miami-Dade probate runs in the 11th Judicial Circuit — Florida's largest, most procedurally formal probate division. Cases file at the historic Dade County Courthouse at 73 W. Flagler Street; some judicial functions sit at the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center depending on judge assignment. The clerk's probate-specific line is (305) 349-7000. Mandatory e-filing via myflcourtaccess.com.

Miami-Dade carries the highest international and foreign-domicile estate volume in Florida. Latin American, European, and Caribbean cross-border estates are routine — expect Apostille and treaty issues, foreign-will admissions, and translation needs. Spanish-language proceedings are common and we coordinate interpreters when needed.

Condo and co-op inventory dominates many estates. Brickell, Miami Beach, Aventura — assessment liens, special assessments (post-Surfside legislation), and 40-year recertifications routinely affect estate sales. The 2021 Surfside collapse continues to influence statutory recertification and reserve requirements that affect condo estate values countywide. We work the new rules carefully on every case.
