Florida S1500 amends estate laws to allow summary administration for small estates, revises access to safe-deposit boxes, and modifies attorney fee.

Florida S1500 amends several sections of Florida Statutes related to estates. It allows summary administration for estates valued at $150,000 or less, or where the decedent has been deceased for more than two years. The bill revises the responsibilities of lessors of safe-deposit boxes to allow access by fiduciaries under certain conditions. It also modifies the list of transactions a personal representative may make without court order.
