What Is Summary Administration in Florida Probate?

Summary administration is a simplified probate process available in Florida when the estate is worth less than $75,000 or the decedent has been dead for more than two years. It can save significant time and money compared to formal administration.

This process doesn’t require appointing a personal representative, and the court can issue an order to distribute assets more quickly. However, it’s not available for all estates, particularly if there are unresolved debts or disputes.

An attorney can help you determine whether summary administration is appropriate and ensure all legal requirements are met to avoid delays.
