Guidance for Florida’s Court-Supervised Probate Process
Formal administration is Florida’s traditional probate process. The Law Office of Juan A. Pyfrom, P.A. advises personal representatives through opening the estate, receiving authority from the court, identifying assets, addressing claims and expenses, protecting estate property, and completing lawful distributions.
Understanding Formal Administration
Formal administration may be appropriate when the estate does not qualify for summary administration, when a court-appointed personal representative must act for the estate, or when the matter involves creditor claims, real estate, tax issues, multiple beneficiaries, or other ongoing responsibilities. The personal representative is a fiduciary and must act within the authority provided by law and the court.
