Summary Administration: A Simplified Probate Process
Simplified Probate for Small Estates: Summary Administration
Florida offers a simplified probate process called summary administration for qualifying small estates (generally under $75,000 or if two years have passed since death). This faster, less expensive option streamlines asset transfer with fewer legal formalities. Examples include: a senior with minimal assets, an individual with minor debts, or a non-resident owning Florida property. Professional guidance can further simplify the process.
