Florida Probate Court Has No Jurisdiction Over Real Property From Out-Of-State

A Florida appellate court has recently held that a Florida probate court cannot order the partition and sale of out-of-state real property.  The Court held that the Florida probate court has no jurisdiction over out of state real property.  In order to partition out-of-state property the personal representatives of the estate would have to open an ancillary action in the State of Georgia.  The decision of Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals can be read here.
