No claim can be brought more than two years after the death (Fla. Stat. §§ 733.702, 733.710).

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).
