Summary Administration is a simplified probate procedure available in Florida for smaller estates. This expedited process is applicable when the value of the entire estate subject to probate does not exceed $75,000 or the decedent has been deceased for more than two years. It’s a streamlined method that can bypass some of the formalities of traditional probate, generally resulting in a quicker distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
