Palm Beach County estates are often the largest we see and the most spread out: a house in Boynton Beach or Delray, children in New York and New Jersey, and a will that was last updated decades ago. We buy inherited houses from Boca Raton to Jupiter and west to Wellington and the Acreage.
Probate in Palm Beach County: the court and the clerk
- Court: Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County
- Clerk: Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County — Probate of Estates
- Courthouse for probate: Main Courthouse, 205 N. Dixie Highway, Room 3.2300, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 (filings accepted at any courthouse location)
- Probate department phone: (561) 355-2986
Proposed probate orders must be submitted through the Fifteenth Circuit’s online scheduling system rather than e-filed, and the Clerk does not send notices to creditors to the newspaper — the petitioner’s attorney arranges publication and files proof. The original will cannot be e-filed. The attorney handles the filings (through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal); you never have to appear in person for an ordinary estate.
Look up the house and the taxes
- Palm Beach County Property Appraiser — search the address to see the owner of record, the last deed, and whether a homestead exemption was in place.
- Palm Beach County Tax Collector — check for unpaid property taxes and tax certificates. Unpaid taxes become tax certificates, and certificate holders can apply for a tax deed sale about two years later — the one clock that doesn’t wait for probate.
We run both of these checks for every family who calls, at no charge, and explain what we find.
Short version: if you want the house sold, we pay for the probate and get the attorney working within 24 hours — call or text (727) 353-6206, or use the form.
