Florida Probate procedures

[IVANinNJ 0]

Does anyone have some expertise with the probate procedures in Florida?

I am trying to find out if the probate rules are still as horrific as they were years ago and if a revocable living trust is the only way to pass along assets without them being lost to lawyers, will administrators and the court system.

Thanks in advance
