To make a self-proving will in Florida, you and your witnesses must sign a self-proving affidavit, in addition to the will itself, and the affidavit must then be notarized.
After death, the personal representative named in the decedent's Will (or the executor) must file or register the Will with the court. An estate attorney can also file the Will on behalf of the personal representative. However, the Will filed with the Court must be the original.
A person can file a quitclaim deed by (1) entering the relevant information on a quitclaim deed form, (2) signing the deed with two witnesses and a notary, and (3) recording the deed at the county comptroller's office. In Florida, quitclaim deeds must have the name and address of both the grantor and the grantee.
After death, the executor or the personal representative of the decedent must file or register the original will with the local county where the decedent resided. One has the option of mailing in the copy of the will and death certificate or going in person.
Wills only get filed with the Probate Court once someone passes away. They do not get recorded in Official Records unless a Probate Case gets filed. The Probate Court requires the original will to be filed. Our mailing address is PO Box 3360 Tampa, FL 33601.
