WHAT IS ANCILLARY PROBATE?
An Ancillary Probate is a supplemental Probate proceeding held in a State where the decedent owned property but did not live. For example, a New York State resident may have been a “snowbird” with a condo in Delray Beach, Florida. Florida will require that an Ancillary Probate be had on the Delray Beach property in order to clear title and satisfy any Florida creditors.
