When a loved one passes away in Florida, families face the dual challenge of processing their grief while handling numerous administrative tasks. At Florida Probate Care, we understand this delicate balance and are here to guide you through each step of the process.
Immediate Actions After Loss
The First 24 Hours
Obtaining a Legal Pronouncement of Death
If your loved one passes in a medical facility, the staff will handle this crucial first step. However, for deaths at home, you'll need to contact emergency services (911) or have a hospice nurse make the pronouncement. This official declaration is essential for obtaining a death certificate, which you'll need for numerous legal proceedings.
Notifying Family, Friends, and Employer Begin by reaching out to immediate family and close friends. Creating a communication chain can help spread the word while protecting you from the emotional toll of making countless individual calls. Contact the deceased's employer promptly to initiate any death benefits and handle outstanding payment matters.
Reviewing Pre-arranged Funeral Plans Search through your loved one's documents for any pre-arranged funeral plans or written wishes. If none exist, gather family members to discuss preferences and financial considerations for the memorial service.
Within the First Few Days
Funeral Arrangement Coordination Work with a funeral home to plan the service, considering factors like burial versus cremation, service location, and religious or cultural traditions. If your loved one was a veteran, explore military honors and benefits available through the Veterans Administration.
Property Security Measures Secure the deceased's residence and vehicles to prevent theft or vandalism. Arrange for regular property checks, mail collection, and basic maintenance. This step is crucial for protecting assets until the estate can be properly managed.
Pet Care Arrangements Ensure any pets are placed in temporary or permanent homes according to your loved one's wishes. Consider their emotional needs during this transition period, as animals also experience grief and displacement.
