How long do you have to file a deceased person's original will with the court in Florida?

Under Fla. Stat. § 732.901, the custodian of an original will must deposit it with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the decedent resided within 10 days after receiving notice of the death. Depositing the will is required regardless of whether formal probate proceedings are immediately opened. The custodian must provide the decedent's date of death or social security number at filing. Failing to deposit the will in a timely manner can expose the custodian to liability for court costs and damages if an interested party is adversely affected by the delay.
