Q: When probating an estate I Florida , can property owned Out of state be included ?
The property in question is in
The US Virgin Islands.
A: It is listed in the probate papers in the filing, but the property has to be probated in the state/country/territory of location through an ancillary probate or a probate in that country. They usually want to see the probate paperwork from the state/country/territory where the primary probate took place. So to answer your question, no, it will not be included and decided upon by the Florida Probate Court.
Seril L Grossfeld agrees with this answer
A: You will have to open a primary probate in Florida and an ancillary probate in the other state.
