Florida Household Paperwork Bundle: 4 Kits in One Download (FL Executor Kit, Florida Small Claims Kit, Florida POA Signing Kit, Florida Will Signing Kit)

Who it is for

Families in Florida getting papers in order: signing a power of attorney or will, settling an estate, or taking a money dispute to small claims.

Not the right fit if

You only need one of these papers (buy that kit on its own), or nothing is in Florida. Not a form preparation or legal service.

Why it is different

What is inside

• Florida Executor Kit. Florida doubled its summary administration limit to $150,000 on July 1, 2026, and whoever holds the original will has 10 days to deposit it with the clerk.
• Florida Small Claims Court Kit. In Florida, small claims (Small claims, county court (Florida Small Claims Rules)) cover claims up to $8,000. From the official page: $8,000 or less, not counting costs, interest and attorney fees. Where and how to file, from the official pages: File with the clerk of the county court in a county where the contract was entered into, where any defendant lives, where the event giving rise to the suit happened, where the property is (to recover property or foreclose a lien), where payment was to be made (money owed with no agreed place), or a place agreed in a contract (Fla. Sm. Cl. R. 7.060(a)). A defendant who thinks the place is wrong may ask for a transfer. Fees: claim of $0.01 to $99.99: $55; $100 to $500: $80; $500.01 to $2,500: $175; $2,500.01 to $8,000: $300. From the Lake County Clerk of Court; service is extra (certified mail $9.64 per Florida defendant; Lake County Sheriff $40). Each clerk publishes its own page, so confirm with your county clerk. Online filing: https://www.myflcourtaccess.com/authority/diy A claim calculator that adds up your items and compares the total with $8,000, a costs sheet with the Florida fee list, a deadline sheet in business days that skips weekends and federal holidays, and a collection tracker with the balance owed. Service: Certified mail (Florida addresses only), the sheriff, or a private process server. Lawyers are allowed. Appeal: A notice of appeal from county court to circuit court (Lake County filing fee $281).
• Florida Power of Attorney Signing Kit. Get your Florida power of attorney signed the way the state's own law describes. The principal signs and acknowledges the power of attorney before a notary. Step by step in signing order: statutory form: Chapter 709 has no statutory power of attorney form, only an optional agent's affidavit; notary: Sign in front of a notary, who completes an acknowledgment; witnesses: Two witnesses sign too; agent's acknowledgment: No signed acceptance is required before acting; recording for real estate: Recording may be asked for in a real estate transaction; durable after incapacity: Include durable wording if it should keep working after incapacity. Healthcare: A health care surrogate designation is signed before two adult witnesses; the surrogate can't witness, and one witness must not be a spouse or blood relative. Witnesses: "two subscribing witnesses" Agent's acknowledgment: "may, but need not" Recording for real estate: "may be required for recording" Durable after incapacity: "This durable power of attorney is not terminated by subsequent incapacity of the principal" Healthcare power of attorney: "in the presence of two subscribing adult witnesses" Recording: A power of attorney relied on for real property title may be required for recording, and the original may be needed. Agent: An agent accepts by acting; a third person may ask for an agent's affidavit (709.2119), but that isn't a step before acting. Plus a copies log.
• Florida Will Signing Day Kit. Bring 2 witnesses. The rule: Two witnesses. The testator signs or acknowledges in front of both, and they sign in front of the testator and each other. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. Have a notary or another officer who can administer oaths there for the self-proving affidavit. The statute names that officer rather than notaries by name. Allowed at signing or any later date, before an officer authorized to administer oaths. The statutory form has boxes for physical presence or online notarization. If no notary is available on the day, the affidavit can be added later, while the witnesses can still be reached. The rule here: A will, or any part of it, isn't invalid because an interested witness signed it (2018 edition of the statute). Steps, ID, copies and review dates. Remote witnessing in Florida: Witnesses may appear by audio-video only when supervised by a notary in an online notarization session under chapter 117. Electronic wills: Authorized. A signature requirement can be met with an electronic signature. Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Florida: Not recognized unless witnessed: a handwritten will needs the same two witnesses as any other will, per Nolo's Florida page (updated November 2023).
