| Summary of Services |
Florida law gives the court discretion over bonding a personal representative in Santa Rosa County. A will may waive the requirement, but the court can still order a bond sized to the personal property and anticipated income. |
| Court History |
Florida uses the Circuit Court for probate rather than a separate court. The court serving Santa Rosa County hears estate administration and guardianship cases. In Milton, Santa Rosa County Clerk of Court & Comptroller serves Santa Rosa County for estate and probate administration. This court offers online docket search, so filings and case status for Santa Rosa County can often be confirmed online before a bond is requested. |
| Additional Information |
Some Santa Rosa County estates cannot close until missing or unknown heirs are located and notified. If that applies to your case, we can refer you to licensed investigators across the country who specialize in heir searches. When you are ready for the bond itself, we issue executor, administrator, guardianship, and conservator bonds for Florida, often the same day. Apply online to begin. |
