Publish a Florida probate notice
Personal representatives and Florida probate counsel who need publication and an affidavit.
Florida probate publication is the public step that tells interested persons — including creditors — that an estate is being administered. Personal representatives and Florida probate counsel are the usual customers. The filing may be styled as a notice of administration, a notice to creditors, or another caption the statute uses for that proceeding. The point is the same: the public can find the estate, the representative, and the time to object or present a claim.
Plain-English context
Florida practice has long used newspaper publication in the county where the estate is pending. Notice Nearby adds the online record counsel can reopen years later: a public URL, an Affidavit of Publication, and a Base content-hash fingerprint. Counsel confirms how that Legal Publication fits the county file. When local rules also name a newspaper, many offices keep both.

Legal Publication in Florida
Florida is one of three states where Notice Nearby sells Legal Publication and an Affidavit of Publication. You are buying a paid official publication on the register: public URL, publication number, scheduled insertions, and a signed affidavit after Publisher review. The affidavit lists run dates. It is the publisher’s proof of this placement.
Every paid notice also receives a SHA-256 of the canonical text, a signed HMAC receipt, and a Base anchor of that hash plus identifiers. Lawyers do not need a token wallet. The useful fact is that the fingerprint is public and permanent; the complete notice remains on noticenearby.com. Verify checks the live record. This is not a claim that blockchain replaces the clerk.
Insertions matter in Florida the same way they matter in print: counsel picks once, weekly, or daily within product limits, and the affidavit lists every run date. If the statute or local practice expects a particular number of insertions, set that on the form so the affidavit lists every run date you ordered.
What you file, what you get
Bring the notice text your office would otherwise send to a newspaper: decedent, case style if you have one, representative or counsel, and the claim or objection language counsel approved. Choose Florida on the publish form, set insertions, and pay. Nothing goes live unpaid.

Legal Publication pricing is per insertion: Standard $79.00 (≤2,000 words), Long $119.00, Extra long $179.00, times the number of runs, 10,000-word maximum. A first-use 50% coupon is available by email on this page; enter the code before Checkout.
After payment, keep the public URL in the probate correspondence file the same way you would keep a tearsheet. The signed affidavit usually arrives in about 1–2 hours on average; attach the PDF to the inventory or the notice-of-administration packet your office already uses. If a creditor later says they never saw the notice, the URL, the run dates, and verify are the record — not a screenshot of a checkout page.
Choose Legal Publication when the estate is in Florida, New Jersey, or Virginia. Public Register Placement is designed for every other state: a one-year public posting and a Placement Certificate. See publish a legal notice online for the two-product map, and about the publisher for who signs.

Questions counsel actually asks
- Is this a Florida notice of administration?
- You supply the text. Many Florida probate files publish a notice of administration or a notice to creditors. Notice Nearby publishes the words you file as a Legal Publication in Florida. Counsel decides which caption the statute requires.
- How does this sit next to a Florida newspaper?
- Notice Nearby publishes the probate notice as Legal Publication and issues an Affidavit of Publication. Counsel confirms how that online placement fits the county file. Many offices also keep a newspaper run when they want both records.
- What do I get after I pay?
- A live public URL, a publication number, then a signed Affidavit of Publication PDF that usually follows in about 1–2 hours on average after Publisher review. That is typical, not a guaranteed SLA. The content hash is anchored on Base.
