The decedent had a FL will and died in FL. There may have been a probate in FL, though I am not sure yet. I am wondering, what is really the difference between a probate and an ancillary probate, in terms of how I open it? If the Will was filed or probated in FL, what do I present to the court here in terms of the Will?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I appreciate your guidance!</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
