Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to Florida Probate Rules - 2025 Legislation
August 28, 2025
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida approved amendments to Florida Probate Rule 5.920 in response to legislation creating substitute service for unascertainable respondents in vulnerable-adult exploitation proceedings. The amendments update the temporary and final injunction forms and certificates of service to authorize substitute service under the governing statute, and they took effect immediately. The court also allowed 75 days for public comments because the amendments were adopted without prior publication.
