A: The 10-day rule for probate in Florida is in reference to the will being filed in the court. The will of a deceased person must be filed with the probate court within 10 days of their death. The rule applies to both formal and summary administration proceedings. To avoid delays, the executor should file promptly.
The formal probate administration usually takes 6-9 months under most circumstances - start to finish. This process includes appointing a personal representative (i.e., the "executor"), a 90 days creditor's period that must run, payment of creditor's claims and more.
Due to this requirement, formal probates at a minimum will remain open for approximately 4 months, but on average most probates will stay open anywhere from 7-9 months. Probate assets should never be distributed before the creditor period has expired and all creditor claims have been dealt with appropriately.
It takes a minimum of six months, but it generally takes 18 months, and, as in any state, complex and litigated estates can add a year or more to the timeline. In almost all cases, Florida law requires that a licensed attorney administer the estate. With summary administration, probate usually takes one to two months.

Ask the County Clerk or search online for your county's probate forms. Fill out the forms with the requested details, such as the decedent's full name, address, date of birth, and date of death; their personal representatives' contact details; heirs; estate value; and more. Then return the forms to the County Clerk.
Probate Statutes of Limitations Creditors have two years from the decedent's death to bring claims against the estate. Otherwise, you generally must raise estate-related claims during administration. Objections to the appointment or conduct of the personal representative must be filed before the estate is closed.
