Re: filing probate
A petition (which means a request for the court to
do something).It sets forth the statutory requirments
entitling the person (petitioner) to initiate probate
proceedings. Since probate is entirely statutory you must
follow the statutory procedures otherwise out the door
you go.

Re: filing probate
There are several different forms of probate in Florida. Each has there own requirements. There is a probate for small estates, one for those with minimal assets, and also formal probate. Do need more info to properly reply.
