Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
In Florida,if it states in the will "I hereby give and grant unto my said Personal
Representative, full power and authority to exchange, convey and sell any property
belonging to my estate without any order of Court, and upon such terms and at such
price as to his discretion shall seem advisable", does the will still have to be probated
by the court? Are there any circumstances where the will would not have to go through the court process? Thank you.

The will must be probated. In order to transfer assets owned only by the decedent, a probate is needed.
