Obituary Monitoring for Probate Attorneys in Palm Beach County

The fiduciary challenges facing Palm Beach County probate practitioners are unlike anywhere else in Florida. The 15th Judicial Circuit Court, Probate Division processes a disproportionate volume of high-net-worth estates—many belonging to "snowbird" clients whose heirs, creditors, and assets are scattered across multiple states. This geographic dispersion makes manual obituary monitoring not merely inconvenient, but practically impossible for attorneys seeking to satisfy Florida's rigorous creditor notification requirements.

The Palm Beach Post publishes obituaries that may be the first public notice of a client's death, yet attorneys relying on family notifications often learn about deaths weeks after publication. Florida Statutes Section 733.2121 imposes a 90-day creditor claim period that begins running the moment notice is published—whether or not the personal representative has seen it. For estates in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter, and Delray Beach, this creates a dangerous liability gap where creditors may emerge with valid claims against estates believed to be properly administered.

ObituaryMonitor provides the "Fiduciary Standard" of digital surveillance that Palm Beach County practitioners require. Our automated system monitors over 2,500 obituary sources 24/7, including The Palm Beach Post, South Florida funeral homes, Legacy.com, and national aggregators. When a death notice matches your watch list, you receive immediate email and SMS alerts—typically within hours of publication. For the 15th Judicial Circuit specifically, our platform generates court-ready audit logs with unique report identifiers, timestamps, and source documentation that satisfy Florida's "Reasonable Diligence" standard. Whether you're administering a Palm Beach Island estate with international beneficiaries or a routine Delray Beach trust, ObituaryMonitor transforms the 14-day notification gap from a liability exposure into documented, defensible compliance.
