Probate Lawyer in Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point, Florida is a hamlet of Fort Lauderdale situated in Broward County. The hamlet was named for the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, which is situated in neighboring Hillsboro Beach. As of the 2010 census, 10,344 people resided there. Lighthouse Point is part of the Miami urban region. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the municipality has an overall area of 2.4 square miles, of which 2.29 square miles is land and .11 square miles is water. Lighthouse Point is situated in northeastern Broward County. It is next to the following cities: Deerfield Beach to the north, Hillsboro Beach to the east across the Intracoastal Waterway, and Pompano Beach to the west and south. Lighthouse Point is even part of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood media market, which is the twelfth biggest radio market and the seventeenth biggest television market in the U.S. Its main daily newspapers are the South Florida Sun-Sentineland The Miami Herald,and their Spanish-language equivalents El Sentinel and El Nuevo Herald.

Florida Notice to Creditors

The personal representative must utilize “due diligence” to present actual notice of the probate proceeding to recognized or sensibly ascertainable creditors, to permit them adequate chance to file claims against the deceased person’s estate, if any. In Florida, such notice is offered through personal service and/or printing of a “Notice to Creditors,” which recognizes the deceased person’s demise, the management of his or her estate and offers details on the procedure by which a creditor might file a claim against the estate. The personal representative must officially and personally serve each recognized creditor of the deceased person. A creditor is recognized if he or she is mentioned in the deceased person’s files or if a bill and so on is sent to the deceased person and redirected to the personal representative. In addition, the personal representative must print the Notice to Creditors in an extensively distributed public newspaper in the counties in which the deceased person was domiciled, resided, upheld property, and so on. The Daily Business Review is a suitable means for this objective in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.

Time Restriction for the Creditor to File a Claim

The time restriction for filing a claim for a recognized or sensibly ascertainable creditor who has been served with a notice to creditors is the later of three months following the initial printing of notice of creditors or thirty days following the date of service of the notice to creditors on the creditor.

Additionally, creditors do not need to file a claim to implement a mortgage or other liens on property of the deceased person, unless the mortgage will not be settled from earnings of the sale of the property. Lastly, and one of the most frequently asked questions about a deceased person’s debts, despite whether a probate has been started in Florida, un-filed claims against the deceased person’s estate are excluded two years following the date of demise of the deceased person. This restriction is relevant in every administration, as well as summary administrations.
