Florida Summary Administration

Summary Administration

Helping Clients Through the Probate Process in Florida

Probate is the legal process when an individual passes away and an administration of their estate is needed. While probate can be a lengthy process, there is a shortened form of probate referred to as summary administration. Summary administration generally takes less time and is less expensive than a formal administration, and it does not require the court to appoint a personal representative.

Qualifying for Summary Administration

There are different ways that an estate can qualify for summary administration instead of formal administration. Some of these qualifications include:

• The decedent passed away over two years prior, and there was no previous probate case opened
• The value of all the estate property that must go through probate after creditor claims is less than $75,000

If you have expereinced a loss and your situation meets one or more of these qualifications, discuss the possibility of summary administration with our legal team today.
