Probate in Nassau County, as we see it.

Nassau is one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida — projected to be sixth-fastest 2025–2035 — with many recent transplants from Georgia and the Northeast carrying out-of-state estate documents that often need Florida re-execution. We catch this at intake.

Probate filings go to the Robert M. Foster Justice Center in Yulee under the 4th Judicial Circuit. Fernandina Beach's historic courthouse (416 Centre St.) has limited services. Free onsite parking at Yulee. E-filing via myflcourtaccess.com.

Resort and second-home concentration on Amelia Island — Ritz-Carlton and Omni Amelia Island Resort communities — creates Florida-domicile vs. nondomicile estate issues. American Beach has a culturally significant Black-heritage community with documented heir-property and undivided-interest issues; the MaVynee Betsch ('Beach Lady') legacy area has unique title questions. Cross-border (Georgia) family ties are common — many estates have heirs in Camden County, GA.
