What is Summary Administration in Florida?
In Florida, summary administration is a simplified probate process created to promptly finalize modest estates or estates of individuals who have passed away more than two years ago.
It's a faster, less complex alternative to formal administration, offering a simplified path for transferring assets to beneficiaries.
This form of probate is perfect when the entire value of the probate estate, not including exempt assets such as homestead property, is under $75,000 or if the deceased has passed away for more than two years.
WHY CHOOSE SUMMARY ADMINISTRATION PROBATE IN FLORIDA?
Streamline the probate process in Florida with summary administration, a quicker alternative for qualifying estates.
- Speed and Efficiency: In comparison to the more complex Formal Administration process, Summary Administration in Florida can be completed in a matter of weeks. This is particularly helpful for families who need to settle matters quickly and avoid the long duration associated with formal probate.
- Lower Costs: Because Summary Administration requires fewer court filings and procedural steps, it is often a more affordable option. MTM Law Firm will guide you through the process, ensuring that you only pay for the essential services you need.
- No Personal Representative Needed: Unlike Formal Administration, which appoints a Personal Representative to handle the estate, Summary Administration distributes assets directly. This eliminates the need for ongoing management, making it a straightforward process for eligible estates.
Summary Administration Probate Challenges to Consider
Summary Administration may not be appropriate for every estate, particularly those with significant creditor claims or complex legal issues. If creditors are owed, notice must be given, and unknown creditors have a limited window to file claims.
At MTM Law Firm, we are well-versed in Florida’s probate statutes and will ensure that all creditor issues are handled properly, protecting the estate from any future complications.
If you have questions about Probate and Summary Administration issues, don’t wait—make sure your legal rights are protected. Call 863.250.2990 today to schedule your Free Consultation with our Probate attorneys.
