Obtain a Florida attorney who will complete the documentation and notify creditors, etc. Also, while it is possible that you will be appointed the PR, someone may object if that person has an interest in the estate and a good reason why you should not be the PR. You're probably going to be fine, just get an attorney to help you through the process. Good luck.
