A streamlined probate option for qualifying Florida estates -Summary Administration is Florida’s simplified probate process for estates with assets up to $150,000 not including the homestead of the deceased. After 2 years, there are no financial limits. It helps heirs and beneficiaries transfer eligible estate assets through the court with less time, paperwork, and expense than formal probate.

For qualifying estates, Summary Administration can provide a faster, more cost-effective path to transferring assets while still maintaining court oversight. It is often useful when the estate is modest, creditor issues are limited, or more than two years have passed since the date of death. Florida’s new laws makes this available for most estates.
