When a person dies without a will, they are considered intestate, and their estate is distributed according to Florida’s intestacy laws. Typically, the surviving spouse and children inherit the estate. If there are no immediate family members, more distant relatives may inherit.
Probate is still required to identify heirs, pay debts, and distribute property. The process can be complicated if multiple relatives are involved or if family dynamics are complex.
