Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to the Florida Probate Rules - 2020 Fast-Track Report
December 31, 2020
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida adopted the Florida Probate Rules amendments proposed in the Committee’s 2020 fast-track report. The amendments implement recent legislation by creating a procedure for distributing certain intestate small estates without administration, adding notice and guardianship-petition requirements, establishing expedited procedures for certain guardian health-care petitions, and renumbering a rule. The amendments took effect immediately, while interested persons were given seventy-five days to submit comments because the proposals had not been published for comment before adoption.
