Allows a non-incarcerated felon to serve as personal representative if they are a close family member of the deceased.

The bill amends Florida law to allow a person convicted of a felony who is not currently incarcerated to serve as a personal representative if they are a parent, spouse, child, or grandchild of the deceased and no other family members of the same degree of consanguinity are available. The court must consider specific criteria, such as the nature of the felony, the petitioner's rehabilitation, and the relationship with the deceased, when determining if the petition will be granted.
