It depends on the assets in the estate, the value of the estate, how the assets are titled,
and if you have more than one beneficiary.
Many probate attorneys would offer a free consultation on the matter.

In Florida, you are required to have an attorney handle the probate if there is more than one beneficiary. Even if there is only one beneficiary, many courts frown upon probate without an attorney. There are different forms of probate, depending on the size of estate. Feel free to contact me should you have further questions.
