How long does probate take in Florida?
A simple probate in Florida usually takes about 6-12 months. A complex estate can take 12-24 months. In Florida, creditors have three months after the notice to creditors is first published to file a claim. A creditor who has to be served gets 30 days after service if that's later. No claim can be brought more than two years after the death (Fla. Stat. §§ 733.702, 733.710).
Is there a small estate option in Florida?
Florida's limit for summary administration, a shorter court process, is $150,000 of Florida probate property, not counting property exempt from creditors. The limit doesn't apply when the death was more than two years ago. Either way, the will can't require formal administration (Fla. Stat. § 735.201).
