Probate process help in Florida

[Allan Turcios]

Hello!

Hope you are all doing well. I’m looking for advice on going through the probate process in Florida. Im currently in Lee County, FL and I have a piece of land under contract, however it needs to go through probate since my county does not take a declaration of heirs. I’m paying off the remaining taxes before the land gets auctioned on Tuesday, and I’m recording the signed contract. What next step and action would I have to take after paying off the taxes and recording the contract? Do I need to get a lawyer and acquire any more documents from the seller? How was your process like? This would be my first probate land deal, so completely new to this.

Greatly appreciate anyone’s help here!

Best,

Allan Turcios
