Local procedure
What local probate rules apply?
The main office is 76347 Veterans Way, Yulee, phone 904-548-4600. A Fernandina Beach office is listed at 416 Centre Street. The probate page still describes summary administration and disposition of personal property with older dollar figures. Use § 735.201. The fee table is used below. Its summary lines are under $1,000 and over $1,000, so an estate of exactly $1,000 is unlabeled. The circuit pages checked on October 29, 2026, did not name a probate judge for this county.
