Dania, FL asked in Estate Planning and Probate for Florida

Q: How much will it cost me to file a disposition of personal property without administration in Broward County, Florida?

My mother lived with me for 15 years, her last year she lived with me in hospice at home. She left no money behind nor an estate. If I were to do this can anyone seeking money from her come after me?

A: The filing fee for the procedure is $232 per the clerk's website, but if there are no assets why would you need to file this procedure. Opening any type of estate would be to have authority to sell or distribute assets, if there are none you do not need to open an estate.
