If he had assets in his name, yes. Contact an attorney familiar with probate such as myself. Good luck.

You can file the will on record at the probate office in your area. However, if there are existing assets in his name only you may need to probate the estate. If you are in the Duval, St. Johns, Clay or Nassau Counties, I will be glad to assist you.

I am sorry for your loss. Yes, it needs to be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where your wife lived. This process is known as probate. Probate is a title proceeding where the will is reviewed and the title assets are transferred. I see you are local, so please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance. Regards,
