What are the Two Main Court Processes Involved in Probate?
Summary Administration
Florida summary administration is a simplified probate process designed for smaller estates, allowing for a quicker and more efficient distribution of assets. This option is available when the total value of the estate is below a certain threshold, enabling beneficiaries to avoid the complexities of formal probate proceedings.
Formal Administration
Florida formal administration is a comprehensive probate process used for managing larger estates or when disputes arise among beneficiaries. This procedure involves the court overseeing the distribution of assets, ensuring that debts and taxes are paid before the remaining assets are distributed to heirs, providing a structured legal framework for the administration of the estate.
